Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

The phones were a trap the Bengals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If Brooks pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 18 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the 35th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Value with a capital V on Darius Robinson in pick 49, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Keon Coleman in No. 80, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 148th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A straight-up fair deal on Steele Chambers at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley slid further than he should have, and the 208th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Cornelius Johnson at No. 214 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They read the board right and Tanner McLachlan was the payoff at pick No. 237. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
