Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Bengals walked right past.

They banked enough surplus on Belton to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 17th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A clean, defensible pick in pick 81 with a little surplus value in Darien Porter. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They let Anthony Belton come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 153 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 193rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
