Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 237th overall pick: the Bengals steal Flournoy and grade out a B.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Ryan Flournoy, the No. 203 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 17 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Shipley reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nothing to complain about; T'Vondre Sweat went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A quiet steal in pick No. 56: T.J. Tampa for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A slide stopped in the 80th pick, with Xavier Legette worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Will Shipley
They paid a round early for Will Shipley in slot 97, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones is a better player than No. 149 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 194th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Erick All
They let Erick All come to them and pounced at the 214th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 224th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
The board fumbled Ryan Flournoy all the way to pick No. 237, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
