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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamal Hadden, the 151st overall pick, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged.

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

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 18 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in No. 49, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 80th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 115 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Theo Wease
No drama and no debate, Theo Wease went about where he belonged in the 173rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 21 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 238. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Good price on Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
