Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Bengals.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jambres Dubar in the 221st overall pick, a good 277 spots before the room expected him. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Height pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, linebacker and other spots. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. That Mathews Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

If Peter Woods and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Romello Height
A want over a need in the 39th pick: Romello Height adds an edge rusher while tight end, linebacker and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick70 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 70th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They went early on Zachariah Branch in slot 109, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at pick 187 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. slipping to No. 198 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jambres Dubar
Jambres Dubar at the 221st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
