Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Jones: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bengals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 18th pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 80th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slipping to pick No. 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in pick 151, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in Round 5, Pick 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Knox at pick 196. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They robbed the room for Sheridan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 254 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
