Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Franklin: B.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Zakhari Franklin, the No. 215 name on the board, in slot 254.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Kamara proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Fair-plus on Kool-Aid McKinstry, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Morgan at the 49th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 15. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ainias Smith at the 173rd overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
No edge and no loss on Jase McClellan in slot 196; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at pick No. 254 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
