Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Magee: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Magee, Round 7, Pick 32, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Hall Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They took Jonah Elliss at par in pick No. 49, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid up for Michael Hall Jr. at pick 80 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in slot 116 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in No. 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at the 175th pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 196th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Somehow Jordan Magee was still sitting there in No. 252, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
