Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bengals let Leavitt fall and pounced. Final grade: D+.

The phones were a trap the Bengals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D+.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick10 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 22nd overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 28 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 53, where Olaivavega Ioane graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington slipping to pick 78 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
They will replay Sam Leavitt at No. 96 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaytron Allen. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They paid sticker price for Deion Burks in the 114th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kage Casey
By-the-book stuff, Kage Casey at Round 5, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A quiet steal in pick 172: Drew Allar for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
The board had Earnest Greene III higher than pick No. 198, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
Khalil Barnes in slot 228 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
