Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Ulofoshio: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Sweat proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Ulofoshio at that price is a win they earned.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in slot 18, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 17 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 115th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at pick 151 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Steal is underselling it; Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 173rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
They did well to land Austin Stogner in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Taking Daequan Hardy in slot 238 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in pick 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
