Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueA NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals let Trotter Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bengals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. On value alone, Trotter Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 19th pick they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 24 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They barely believed it either: Jackson Powers-Johnson still on the board at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T'Vondre Sweat reach Round 3, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in No. 83, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Johnson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in pick No. 116 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
