Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Bengals walked right past.

That Harvey pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick 10 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Zion Young
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Young. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 72nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Fair-plus on Deion Burks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Isaiah Nwokobia. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick197 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
The board had DJ Harvey higher than pick No. 197, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
Nice patience on J. Michael Sturdivant, who had no business lasting to the 226th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
