Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Broughton.

The cost of the Winston Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 8 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in slot 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A reach on Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 17; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at the 119th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A tidy bit of business in pick 153, where Vernon Broughton graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 193rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
