Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and James: B.

Call it larceny. DJ James sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 12, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good price on Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in the 80th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 16 with a little surplus value in Leonard Taylor III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 DJ James
DJ James in pick No. 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the 175th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
