Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B+ to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent No. 252 on Hayden Hatten, a name the board had a full 84 spots lower.

Foster at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 80th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at the 116th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Taking Javon Foster in pick No. 160 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 175 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Fair-plus on Michael Barrett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Value said wait; Hayden Hatten in Round 7, Pick 32 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
