Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Brooks: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jonathon Brooks, the No. 44 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 80. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Driskell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 18th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board fumbled Troy Franklin all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Steal is underselling it; Jonathon Brooks at pick No. 80 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 116th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Josh Newton
They barely believed it either: Josh Newton still on the board at pick 148. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in slot 175: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Nice patience on Jordan Jefferson, who had no business lasting to No. 196. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
They went early on Ethan Driskell in Round 7, Pick 15, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 32. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
