Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 208th overall pick lands the Bengals a B-, McGlothern and all.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into the Round 6 slot.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Suamataia pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 49th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in pick 80 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at Round 4, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Nice patience on Ainias Smith, who had no business lasting to slot 148. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in No. 208, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They paid sticker price for Josh Proctor in the 214th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick237 Rnd7 Logan Lee
By-the-book stuff, Logan Lee at No. 237 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
