Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Bengals did not so much draft J.J. Weaver as overpay for him, 136 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Brown that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in slot 49, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at Round 4, Pick 17. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the 153rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A big swing on Cooper Mays at pick No. 236, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.J. Weaver. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
