Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Hayden Hatten selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 59 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In slot 18 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 49 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
No drama and no debate, Gabriel Murphy went about where he belonged in the 80th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They took Jaylen Wright at par in No. 151, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They liked Michael Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in the 173rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 196th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kenny Logan Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at No. 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 238th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Hatten in pick No. 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
