Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureB+
The Bengals robbed the room for Burke. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Denzel Burke, the No. 88 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 118.

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In pick 17 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick81 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at pick No. 81 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at slot 97 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Denzel Burke in the 118th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
