Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Newton: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Josh Newton slide 89 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Bengals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A slide stopped in the 54th overall pick, with Kamari Lassiter worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 80th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in No. 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
They robbed the room for Jaheim Bell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tahj Washington at pick 206. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at Round 6, Pick 39 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Owens in Round 7, Pick 17. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
