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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Tre Harris slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Eboigbe left real value on the table behind him.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in the 88th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 161 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 173 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach pick No. 202 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden is a better player than the 245th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
They reached into another round for Justin Eboigbe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
