Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Devonshire: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The Devonshire pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The veteran additions, Mark Andrews chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 8 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the 79th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid sticker price for Kris Abrams-Draine in the 80th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Good price on Ray Davis in Round 4, Pick 10, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in slot 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Brade
The board had Beau Brade higher than the Round 5 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick175 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 39. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A tidy little value on Steele Chambers in No. 196, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in the 223rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the 235th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
Ryan Cooper Jr. at pick 252 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Somehow Tayvion Robinson was still sitting there in pick No. 256, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
