Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA FutureB
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Bengals bet big and early on Jack Kiser, 50 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Adding Brandon Jones by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 20 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A premium they did not need to pay, Ashton Gillotte a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at pick No. 81. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They will replay Donovan Jackson at No. 118 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Kiser this early at the 154th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ja'Quinden Jackson
You do not let a running back like Ja'Quinden Jackson reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
