Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Hill: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Tommi Hill, the No. 135 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 195. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Treylon Burks deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in the 49th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board had Tez Johnson higher than slot 102, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Circle this one: Ozzy Trapilo at No. 118 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 119th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 David Bailey
A quiet steal in pick 154: David Bailey for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in pick No. 195 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
