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

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Bengals to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Dike makes the weekend a net positive. The Sorrell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 17th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in pick 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 17. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
The board had Chimere Dike higher than the 119th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They paid up for Barryn Sorrell at slot 153 when waiting would have done the job. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A reach for Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
