Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Barton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Graham Barton tumbling to the Bengals in the Round 4 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Hatten reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick No. 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board had Brenden Rice higher than the 80th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in Round 4, Pick 15 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Simpson still on the board at slot 173. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Value with a capital V on Trey Knox in pick 196, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 238th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at pick 254, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
