Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Hayden Hatten, 47 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Orhorhoro at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 25. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 80th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Somehow Ruke Orhorhoro was still sitting there in the 88th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Abrams-Draine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Nice patience on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, who had no business lasting to No. 151. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
By-the-book stuff, Michael Barrett at pick No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Fair-plus on Christian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board had cheaper options than Dwight McGlothern at pick 238, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten in the 254th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
