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

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

If Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. That Driskell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in the 18th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick65 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid a round early for Cedric Gray in slot 113, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at pick No. 138, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 5, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chau Smith-Wade at No. 173 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They read the board right and Christian Jones was the payoff at the 204th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
The board fumbled Ethan Driskell all the way to slot 210, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
