Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 18. The Bengals jumped the board by 29 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wease Jr.. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ja'Tavion Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 49th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They jumped the gun on Sedrick Van Pran, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 132nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at Round 5, Pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick 169 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 173 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
The board fumbled Theo Wease Jr. all the way to pick No. 196, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Taking Jordan Magee in slot 238 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
