Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Sanders fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: T.J. Sanders, the No. 41 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 17 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Somehow Armand Membou was still sitting there in slot 49, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 119th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
