Overall B-

ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Zeek Biggers, 132 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Bengals indulged a want in Ivey while a need in cornerback, tight end and other spots stayed open.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Caldwell.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick17 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka

In slot 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick49 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen

They let Princely Umanmielen come to them and pounced at the 49th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Ivey

The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Jared Ivey while clear needs at cornerback, tight end and other spots sat open.

Pick119 Rnd4 Zeek Biggers

Zeek Biggers in No. 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick153 Rnd5 Jamaree Caldwell

Circle this one: Jamaree Caldwell at pick 153 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
