Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 80th pick lands the Bengals a D, Legette and all.

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. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

If Mettauer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Byron Murphy II. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick26 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 26th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 49, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They barely believed it either: Xavier Legette still on the board at slot 80. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Steal is underselling it; Adisa Isaac at pick 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 151st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They robbed the room for Braelon Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in slot 196, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They read the board right and Brevyn Spann-Ford was the payoff at pick No. 238. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
McKade Mettauer at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
