Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bengals did exactly that with Bear Alexander in pick 204.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 7th pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They paid a round early for Arvell Reese in pick No. 42, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They reached into another round for Caleb Tiernan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Scott at slot 119. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 156th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A wild overpay on Patrick Payton in No. 190, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bear Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 226th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
