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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Joshua Farmer, Round 5, Pick 15, roughly 32 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 17 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They jumped the gun on Alfred Collins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Ivey at the 81st pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
No edge and no loss on Luke Kandra in pick No. 118; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach No. 154 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They paid a round early for Ja'Quinden Jackson in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
