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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bengals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harmon. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
No drama and no debate, Landon Jackson went about where he belonged in the 42nd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the 49th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A reach on Jake Majors in slot 119; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Good price on Jackson Slater in pick 153, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They went early on Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 193, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
