Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 148th overall pick lands the Bengals a D, Estime and all.

The Bengals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Estime value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 23: Rome Odunze for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the 49th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
They will replay Kamari Lassiter at pick 80 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Value said wait; Theo Johnson in No. 116 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Audric Estime
Circle this one: Audric Estime at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 175 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
