Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
McGlothern should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Dwight McGlothern slide 18 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Sweat pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick No. 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at the 49th pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 16, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They let Braelon Allen come to them and pounced at slot 115. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in No. 151, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 173rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick196 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in pick 238, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
By-the-book stuff, Aubrey Burks at pick No. 254 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
