Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Robinson: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bengals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Robinson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 3. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick No. 50 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
By-the-book stuff, Cade Stover at the 80th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the 116th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 5, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 175th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick No. 196 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick 235 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson at slot 252 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
