Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Dallin Holker, 42 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hardy.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than No. 33, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 65th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They did well to land Calen Bullock in pick 80, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dallin Holker this early at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Layden Robinson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in pick 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Circle this one: Daequan Hardy at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox slipping to pick No. 252 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
