Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Bengals bet big and early on Luke Kandra, 33 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Landing Amos that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 17 they get a bendy edge with upside. More want than need.
Pick28 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at pick No. 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Trey Amos
They robbed the room for Trey Amos here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Kandra this early at the 119th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
No drama and no debate, Damien Martinez went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 15. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in slot 193 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A big swing on Thomas Fidone II at the 228th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
