Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Bell: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaheim Bell, Round 5, Pick 18, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Nothing to complain about; Rome Odunze went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King in Round 2, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Good price on Barrett Carter in slot 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
A quiet steal in pick 117: Kiran Amegadjie for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 154 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.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No drama and no debate, Zion Tupuola-Fetui went about where he belonged in the 173rd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Fair-plus on Cody Schrader, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at No. 254 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
