Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Evan Anderson, 45 picks early at pick No. 237.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 18 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They did well to land T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 17, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They paid sticker price for Renardo Green in pick No. 80, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 115th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at Round 6, Pick 19 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached a country mile for Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 214, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in slot 224 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in the 237th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They took Josh Proctor at par in the 238th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
