Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Haynes fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Christian Haynes sat on the board until the Round 4 slot, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Hall has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 18 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They will replay Cooper DeJean at slot 49 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 80th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Circle this one: Christian Haynes at the 115th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to pick No. 151. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at pick 173, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in Round 7, Pick 18 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at pick No. 254 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
