Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
Henderson should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let TreVeyon Henderson slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 15. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 49th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at slot 81 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at Round 3, Pick 21 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in No. 118, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 154 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
No drama and no debate, Roc Taylor went about where he belonged in the 195th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylin Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in No. 239 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They barely believed it either: Jaishawn Barham still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
