Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B.

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Hayden Hatten went at pick 254, a good 59 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hardy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 56th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at pick No. 80 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Nice patience on Ben Sinnott, who had no business lasting to the 151st overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A reach on Isaiah Davis in the 173rd pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid up for Jared Wiley at Round 6, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 238, where Daequan Hardy graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A big swing on Hayden Hatten at pick 254, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
