Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Sanders: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. T.J. Sanders tumbling to the Bengals in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 23rd pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in slot 49 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick No. 81 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the 118th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 17 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in pick 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
