Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureA
The Bengals let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cameron Williams, pick 119, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They will need Gadsden II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

In the end it comes back to Jack Sawyer, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at No. 44 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at the 49th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at Round 4, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 149 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tory Horton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 171st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in slot 193 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Somehow Vernon Broughton was still sitting there in pick No. 204, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
