Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Devonshire: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. M.J. Devonshire, the No. 191 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 224. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Byrd left real value on the table behind him.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 18th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 49 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A premium they did not need to pay, Mekhi Wingo a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
The board had cheaper options than Jaheim Bell at slot 149, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They liked Drake Nugent enough to skip the value, taking him in the 194th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 214 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach the 224th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Jordan Magee for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd in Round 7, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
