Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Washington: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tahj Washington at slot 237 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They are betting Lee proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taliese Fuaga. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
No drama and no debate, Jermaine Burton went about where he belonged in the 52nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher is a better player than pick No. 80 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A quiet steal in the 98th overall pick: Khyree Jackson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in Round 4, Pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in pick 126, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at No. 149, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They liked Jordan Jefferson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 172. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They went early on Logan Lee in the 196th pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 214 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 237th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in pick 240 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at Round 7, Pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick254 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at No. 254 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
