Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
Smith-Wade should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a C-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Chau Smith-Wade got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
The board had Brock Bowers higher than slot 18, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 16 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Somehow Jermaine Burton was still sitting there in the 97th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A quiet steal in the 115th pick: Zak Zinter for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ray Davis
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ray Davis in pick No. 149, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick 194 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.
Pick214 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in No. 214 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
