Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bengals to a D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Put together, it is a D-.

The Sweat pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 19th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 26 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A conviction pick on Zak Zinter at slot 97 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King slipping to pick 149 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 19 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They liked Eric Watts enough to skip the value, taking him in the 214th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
