Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 149 lands the Bengals a B, Neal and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Devin Neal at the 149th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They are betting Roberts 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in slot 44. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 75th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 111 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the 149th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick 187, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
