Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Franklin from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Troy Franklin, the No. 25 name on the board, sitting there at pick 80 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 18 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Taking Nate Wiggins in slot 49 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Troy Franklin in Round 3, Pick 16, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy bit of business in the 115th pick, where Blake Fisher graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They paid sticker price for Sincere Haynesworth in pick 151, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 173 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at the 196th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A tidy little value on David Ugwoegbu in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in pick 254 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
