Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Taulia Tagovailoa; the Bengals did not wait, grabbing him 74 spots ahead at No. 214. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Dixon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 97th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at pick No. 115 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Nice patience on Fabien Lovett, who had no business lasting to the 194th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached a country mile for Taulia Tagovailoa at the 214th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at pick 224 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Circle this one: Garret Greenfield at slot 237 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 18, where Tatum Bethune graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
