Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureD
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Nobody else had Omar Speights anywhere near Round 7, Pick 17. The Bengals did, by 104 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 12th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 49 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 97th pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
The board fumbled Johnny Wilson all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They talked themselves into Caedan Wallace at Round 6, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley slid further than he should have, and the 214th pick is lovely value for the tight end. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in No. 224 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in pick No. 237 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at pick 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
