Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Bengals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They will need McGlothern to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Orhorhoro. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A quiet steal in slot 36: Jordan Morgan for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at the 40th pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They took Ja'Tavion Sanders at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 115th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 141 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in No. 151 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Barrett well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. slipping to slot 196 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at the 238th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached a country mile for Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
