Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bengals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The Bengals indulged a want in Ivey while a need in wide receiver, linebacker and other spots stayed open. Landing Blue that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They will need Ivey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 49th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A surprising call. With wide receiver, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent No. 62 on Jared Ivey, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 81st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 130 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at pick 153 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 170 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaydon Blue at the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 20, where Jack Nelson graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Gray. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Addison West
Nice patience on Addison West, who had no business lasting to the 228th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 244 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
