Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Keon Sabb tumbling to the Bengals in the 108th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Brown lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Sabb pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 7th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
A reach for Drew Shelton in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 108 on Keon Sabb with cornerback, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick190 Rnd6 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at Round 6, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick204 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Value said wait; Barion Brown in slot 204 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes in the 226th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
