Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bengals spent slot 149 on Jordan Jefferson, a name most had 23 spots down the list. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Leveston at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 49th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in pick 80. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 3, Pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 115th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Fabien Lovett at pick No. 194 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 39, with Blake Watson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker slid further than he should have, and slot 224 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at the 237th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Value with a capital V on Steele Chambers in pick 238, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
