Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bengals let Hadden fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Kamal Hadden, the No. 139 name on the board, sitting there at slot 175 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The cost of the Lloyd reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a bendy edge with upside. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Taking Troy Fautanu in pick 49 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in No. 80 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 84. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 116 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
The board had cheaper options than MarShawn Lloyd at the 121st pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A tidy little value on Luke McCaffrey in the 148th overall pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Somehow Kamal Hadden was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker is a better player than pick 196 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Circle this one: Omar Speights at No. 235 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A straight-up fair deal on Mark Perry at pick No. 252, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
