Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Sanders from sliding. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. T.J. Sanders tumbling to the Bengals in the Round 6 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Green pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 23rd overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Mike Green
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Mike Green while clear needs at cornerback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick54 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach No. 54 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in slot 81 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in pick 117, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 152 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 6, Pick 16 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
Somehow T.J. Sanders was still sitting there in the 196th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
