Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bengals would have aced it. Barryn Sorrell at the 209th overall pick is 106 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker and quarterback still on the board. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in the 37th pick, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in slot 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at pick No. 72. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Value with a capital V on Darien Porter in No. 86, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach pick 97 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while linebacker and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tai Felton in the 108th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 119 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They robbed the room for Emery Jones Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonah Monheim a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Willie Lampkin. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 181 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at Round 6, Pick 17. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at the 199th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at the 209th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick227 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in Round 7, Pick 11 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in pick 233 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
