Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Da'Shawn Womack, and it showed at the 203rd overall pick: 52 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

With tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Derrick Moore
In the 25th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
A want over a need in slot 57: Suntarine Perkins adds an edge rusher while tight end, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick89 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 89 with a little surplus value in Aaron Graves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in Round 4, Pick 23 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Scott at No. 164 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack in the 203rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick238 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
A real head-scratcher, Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 238th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaiah Augustave
Isaiah Augustave in the 252nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
