Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Bullock: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Calen Bullock tumbling to the Bengals in the 151st pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 18 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 49th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 80 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Calen Bullock
They will replay Calen Bullock at slot 151 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in Round 5, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
Taking Dylan Laube in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 238th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Maurice Smith in No. 254. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
