Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Roman Wilson got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at pick 115. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Edwards proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 49 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 80 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Roman Wilson reach pick No. 115 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
