Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Mitchell: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 80 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. If Nourzad pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 18 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at Round 2, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 97th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in No. 115, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They liked Hunter Nourzad enough to skip the value, taking him in the 149th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
