Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Bengals to leave a draft.

That Jones pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wiley has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Byron Murphy II at pick No. 49. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Mustapha in the 151st pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Wiley
They paid a round early for Michael Wiley in the 173rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They jumped the gun on Jared Wiley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in No. 238 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
By-the-book stuff, Chad Lindberg at the 254th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
