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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tahj Washington got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the 224th pick.

The cost of the Fisher reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
They paid sticker price for Byron Murphy II in No. 18, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
The board had Xavier Legette higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Max Melton
Nothing to complain about; Max Melton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A big swing on Blake Fisher at the 97th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 4, Pick 15 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Davis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in pick 194 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in the 214th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Somehow Tahj Washington was still sitting there in No. 224, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 238th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
