Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 33 picks early on Vernon Broughton, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Norman-Lott value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
A reach on Jack Sawyer in the 17th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They jumped the gun on Jayden Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dorian Strong. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They talked themselves into Vernon Broughton at the 153rd pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They took Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at par in pick No. 193, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
