Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Bengals a B-, Jackson and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Domani Jackson, No. 125, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Banks pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection.
Pick57 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They will replay Domani Jackson at No. 125 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barion Brown
They jumped the gun on Barion Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
