Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D

A puzzling weekend of work from the Bengals: D.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Giles Jackson. He came off 264 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The Jeanty value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hayes pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, tight end and other spots.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Elijah Roberts
In pick No. 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dayon Hayes
A want over a need in the 49th pick: Dayon Hayes adds an edge rusher while cornerback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick81 Rnd3 Giles Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Giles Jackson this early at pick 81. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in slot 118 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at No. 195 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
