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

The Bengals clearly saw something nobody else did in Roger Rosengarten, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Flournoy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 18 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Worthy at slot 49, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 80 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They talked themselves into McKinnley Jackson at the 97th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javion Cohen in the 149th pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence is a better player than the 194th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A big swing on Andrew Raym at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 224 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Flournoy at the 237th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
