Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Call it larceny. Jack Bech sat on the board until pick 118, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

Conner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 1, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They paid a round early for Bradyn Swinson in pick No. 49, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slid further than he should have, and No. 81 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in slot 118 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at pick 154, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the 195th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
