Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Corley: D+.

The Bengals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D+.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Corley pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham at No. 24 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They robbed the room for Quinyon Mitchell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 21 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at slot 54 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They will replay Payton Wilson at the 70th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Taking Malachi Corley in pick 86 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at pick No. 116, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 148th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A safety of that caliber at slot 173 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick175 Rnd5 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in Round 5, Pick 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
