Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Henderson: B.

When a board-topper like TreVeyon Henderson slides to No. 81, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 49th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 81 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than the 85th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick 118. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
