Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B.

The Bengals bet big and early on Barryn Sorrell, 161 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while wide receiver, linebacker and other spots went begging.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 30 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A clean, defensible pick in pick 58 with a little surplus value in Tate Ratledge. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nothing to complain about; Darien Porter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp in the 126th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
A want over a need in slot 130: Barryn Sorrell adds an edge rusher while wide receiver, linebacker and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick152 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 152 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
They reached into another round for Miles Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 175th overall pick, where Ty Robinson graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 191st pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
