Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; AJ Barner at the 151st pick will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Jackson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
The board had Tyler Nubin higher than the 39th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 47th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They did well to land Blake Corum in pick No. 80, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They read the board right and Blake Fisher was the payoff at No. 108. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dominick Puni at pick 115 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at slot 130 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 151st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Taking Braelon Allen in No. 173 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Nothing to complain about; Michael Barrett went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach slot 196 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
No drama and no debate, Joshua Cephus went about where he belonged in pick No. 230. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in the 238th overall pick with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jeremy James
Jeremy James in pick 254 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
