Emeritus DRAFTING FOR THEBengals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bengals

FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Bengals torched the value chart for Andrew Raym, taking him 25 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The quarterback 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.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick No. 18 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They went early on Malachi Corley in the 49th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at slot 115, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 149th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
No edge and no loss on Jase McClellan in the 194th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Raym this early at Round 6, Pick 39. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A big swing on Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Kalen DeLoach
They paid a round early for Kalen DeLoach in pick No. 237, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
A tidy little value on Trevin Wallace in the 238th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
