Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueA NeedB- TradesC- FutureC+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Judkins: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Quinshon Judkins at the 244th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 17th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
A running back of that caliber at the 44th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at pick No. 118 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at pick 244 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
