Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Bengals a B, Latham and all.

When a board-topper like JC Latham slides to Round 3, Pick 16, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Anderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 18 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They robbed the room for Quinyon Mitchell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 JC Latham
JC Latham at slot 80 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Taking Trey Benson in Round 4, Pick 16 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A real head-scratcher, Sione Vaki in pick No. 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick175 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They reached into another round for Rasheen Ali, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in the 235th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in No. 252 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
