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

The Bengals did not so much draft Omar Speights as overpay for him, 104 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 18th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They paid up for Malachi Corley at the 49th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Fisher in pick 97, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at No. 115, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 149 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 214th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miyan Williams this early at the 224th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They reached a country mile for Omar Speights at pick No. 237, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
A tidy little value on Dominique Hampton in Round 7, Pick 18, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
