Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Crownover should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Dametrious Crownover, the No. 145 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 189. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 10 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Logan Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Jones this early at Round 3, Pick 8. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at pick No. 110 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dametrious Crownover
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dametrious Crownover in the 189th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Demond Claiborne
Circle this one: Demond Claiborne at slot 199 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 TJ Hall
They paid up for TJ Hall at pick 221 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Nwokobia a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
