Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 173 lands the Bengals a B+, Knight and all.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 37 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Tyrice Knight, the No. 115 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The Derwin James Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jared Verse
They robbed the room for Jared Verse here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Steal is underselling it; Amarius Mims at No. 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice is a better player than the 80th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in slot 115 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Simpson went about where he belonged in the 151st overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyrice Knight
Taking Tyrice Knight in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Circle this one: LaDarius Henderson at pick 196 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They took Maurice Smith at par in Round 7, Pick 18, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 254th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
