Singh DRAFTING FOR THEBengals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall

ValueC+

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals. Of all the ways to open, the Bengals chose the head-scratcher, spending the 41st overall pick on Quincy Rhodes Jr. with tight end, linebacker and other spots still wide open. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Hartford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early.
Pick41
Rnd2
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Quincy Rhodes Jr. at edge rusher with tight end, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick74
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 74th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Deion Burks
Deion Burks in No. 109 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at slot 189 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Josh Moten
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Moten at pick No. 198, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at the 225th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
