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

The Bengals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Magee to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will need Sweat to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
They paid sticker price for Taliese Fuaga in pick No. 18, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick27 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the Round 1 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They liked T'Vondre Sweat enough to skip the value, taking him in the 49th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 16 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Dillon Johnson at the 115th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Nice patience on Jaheim Bell, who had no business lasting to slot 151. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathan Thomas. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They will replay Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 18 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 254 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
