Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals went off the board in a big way for Jeff Caldwell, 25 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Nwaiwu pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
No edge and no loss on Kadyn Proctor in the 10th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
A quiet steal in slot 41: Joshua Josephs for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter is a better player than No. 72 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They took Tacario Davis at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Febechi Nwaiwu in the 187th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick 197 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Miles Kitselman in pick No. 226. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
