Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in the 204th pick lands the Bengals a A-, Fortune and all.

Call it larceny. O'Donnell Fortune sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 28, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

Reaching for Vann left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 2, Pick 19. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 55 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at No. 81 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 119th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 149th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They paid a round early for Kyle Williams in pick 157, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They jumped the gun on Clay Webb, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Value with a capital V on Raheim Sanders in Round 6, Pick 15, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West slipping to pick 197 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at slot 204 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in the 225th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick235 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the 235th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick239 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in No. 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
