Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 191st pick: the Bengals steal Higgins and grade out a B+.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into slot 191. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Nash pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A tidy little value on Will Campbell in pick 20, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 51 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at No. 81. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 18. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Majors
By-the-book stuff, Jake Majors at the 85th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra slipping to slot 117 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. is a better player than the 120th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in No. 189 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They robbed the room for Jay Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hancock at pick No. 195. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick205 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A premium they did not need to pay, Davison Igbinosun a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
