Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Barrett: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Michael Barrett at Round 7, Pick 34 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Kool-Aid McKinstry leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 19th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick80 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
They will replay Amarius Mims at Round 3, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick No. 115 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They robbed the room for Jacob Cowing here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Jefferson in slot 196. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in pick 238, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 254th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
