Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Haulcy: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched A.J. Haulcy slide 23 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They did well to land Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 41, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lee Hunter at pick 63 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Circle this one: A.J. Haulcy at the 72nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Devin Moore
They barely believed it either: Devin Moore still on the board at pick No. 110. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost slid further than he should have, and slot 189 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the 199th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at Round 7, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
They took Noah Whittington at par in pick 226, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
