Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The Jordan Strachan selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 135 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Jones steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 18th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Graham Barton. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick No. 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at slot 173, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Mark Perry
No edge and no loss on Mark Perry in pick No. 238; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jordan Strachan
Jordan Strachan at pick 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
