Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in slot 206 lands the Bengals a B+, Smith and all.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brashard Smith, the No. 111 name on the board, in pick 206.

The Gillotte pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ashton Gillotte well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 21, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to No. 118, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick200 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
The board had Luke Lachey higher than slot 200, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 206th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
A running back of that caliber at the 239th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
