Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Hardy: B+.

Call it larceny. Daequan Hardy sat on the board until slot 254, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. If Bell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They liked T'Vondre Sweat enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 3, Pick 16 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than slot 94 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Value said wait; Jaheim Bell in pick No. 115 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 131st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in No. 151, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 173rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Omar Speights
No drama and no debate, Omar Speights went about where he belonged in pick 196. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick254 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at No. 254 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
