Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 237 lands the Bengals a B-, Rosemy-Jacksaint and all.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, in the 237th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Knox pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
They did well to land Jared Verse in Round 1, Pick 18, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in No. 49, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick No. 80 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in pick 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the 149th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at slot 194 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They read the board right and Jared Wiley was the payoff at the 214th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caedan Wallace at slot 224 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They robbed the room for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
They jumped the gun on Kalen DeLoach, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
