Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Justin Rogers. He came off 51 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Oladapo. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 49th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at No. 80 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Rogers in Round 4, Pick 16, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javon Foster
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 148th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A tidy bit of business in pick 175, where Jaylen Wright graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick 196 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brevyn Spann-Ford. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau is a better player than No. 252 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
