Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall

FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Dorlus. Final grade: D. Somebody took the Bengals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. On value alone, Dorlus makes the weekend a net positive.
They are betting Edwards proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than No. 47, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 80th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116
Rnd4
Brandon Dorlus
They will replay Brandon Dorlus at the 116th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Steal is underselling it; Josh Newton at Round 5, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Good price on Sione Vaki in the 175th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
A reach on Daijun Edwards in No. 196; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235
Rnd7
Emani Bailey
They barely believed it either: Emani Bailey still on the board at slot 235. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in pick 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
