Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Monheim: C-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jonah Monheim tumbling to the Bengals in the 195th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

They are betting Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 77 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A reach on Tez Johnson in the 81st pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 118th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 36 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 195 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
