Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Raheim Sanders in slot 193 is a quiet win that props up the whole weekend for the Bengals. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Briningstool reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slipping to No. 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick No. 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in the 74th pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The board had Darien Porter higher than pick 90, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Anthony Belton in the 119th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Pat Bryant at pick No. 142 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders is a better player than slot 193 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A reach on Nazir Stackhouse in No. 195; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at pick 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
