Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Sellers from sliding. Grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: LaNorris Sellers, the No. 10 name on the board, stolen at slot 229. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 13th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the 44th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at pick 94 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
Taking Kamari Ramsey in Round 4, Pick 10 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 David Bailey
A curious use of No. 129. Tight end, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in David Bailey did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Somehow Mansoor Delane was still sitting there in slot 137, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Colton Hood
The board fumbled Colton Hood all the way to pick No. 152, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cashius Howell
They barely believed it either: Cashius Howell still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Romello Height
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 195th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Michael Taaffe in Round 6, Pick 22, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in the 229th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
