Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 3, Pick 17 on Jamaree Caldwell a full 47 spots early.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamaree Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at the 119th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick153 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in pick 153, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Cooper at Round 6, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
