Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
The Bengals robbed the room for Barron. Final grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jahdae Barron got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
A cornerback of that caliber at the 37th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick No. 49 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at No. 119 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hollin Pierce. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Fair-plus on Nick Nash, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
No drama and no debate, Oronde Gadsden II went about where he belonged in the 193rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
