The Sinnott reach set the tone, and the Bengals never recovered: F. The Ben Sinnott selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 68 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. There is no dressing it up: a F.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Kamari Lassiter
In pick No. 23 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 49 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 75 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 16, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They did well to land Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 151st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173
Rnd5
Michael Wiley
The board had cheaper options than Michael Wiley at Round 5, Pick 37, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238
Rnd7
Mark Perry
By-the-book stuff, Mark Perry at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick254
Rnd7
Nick Andersen
Nick Andersen at the 254th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
