Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The phones were a trap the Bengals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

If Kamara pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

The Morgan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
By-the-book stuff, Terrion Arnold at No. 18 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan is a better player than slot 49 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They paid up for Javon Baker at the 80th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 4, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 116 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick199 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at Round 6, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
