Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Lee Hunter at No. 41 is 27 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Downs.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 10 they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 9 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 110 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
