Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Stogner fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Austin Stogner, the No. 199 name on the board, in the 235th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Sweat reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid a round early for T'Vondre Sweat in the 49th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 80 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 116th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 148 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A straight-up fair deal on Rasheen Ali at slot 196, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner in No. 235 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 252nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
