Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Evan Anderson, 68 picks ahead of schedule.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. 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.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 18 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James in the 49th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malik Washington
The board had cheaper options than Malik Washington at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 97 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A conviction pick on McKinnley Jackson at slot 115 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at No. 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at No. 194 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
They talked themselves into Evan Anderson at slot 214, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rasheen Ali in pick 224, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
