Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
Ferguson should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Bengals never got to the one that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Landing Ferguson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will need Gordon II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 17 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reasonable price with a little left over, JT Tuimoloau in slot 52. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A slide stopped in the 119th pick, with Jordan Phillips worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 5, Pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at the 193rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
