Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, the 192nd pick, roughly 93 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Bryant reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nice patience on Tyler Booker, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and pick No. 81 is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick118 Rnd4 Patrick Bryant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 152nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 192nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
