Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals clearly saw something nobody else did in Nick Barrett, taking him 33 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wright. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 10 they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 8. Offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Michael Taaffe did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 110th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Steal is underselling it; Aaron Anderson at the 189th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright in slot 199 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
Value said wait; Nick Barrett in No. 226 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
