Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B.

The Bengals' one glaring miss is tight end, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Miller pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a three-down runner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at pick 41 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in the 72nd overall pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A clean, defensible pick in No. 110 with a little surplus value in Caden Curry. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick187 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A tidy little value on Thaddeus Dixon in slot 187, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trebor Pena in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
No edge and no loss on Riley Mahlman in the 226th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
