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

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Tre Harris, the No. 192 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Sinnott reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham in the 17th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 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.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro is a better player than pick 81 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
They did well to land Jo'Quavious Marks in the 154th pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 173 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 195 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at slot 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Storm Duck
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 254 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
