Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Hayden Hatten selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 89 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

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

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A quiet steal in No. 49: Kamari Lassiter for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 80th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at slot 115, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tommy Eichenberg in pick 149. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A premium they did not need to pay, Logan Lee a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No edge and no loss on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 214; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bub Means
They reached into another round for Bub Means, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They reached a country mile for Rasheen Ali at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Hatten in pick 238, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
