Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ja'Tavion Sanders got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the 80th overall pick.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Bertrand left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 18 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They liked T'Vondre Sweat enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 17. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 80th pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Khyree Jackson at slot 116 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Somehow Javon Foster was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson slid further than he should have, and the 175th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
The board had cheaper options than JD Bertrand at No. 196, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
By-the-book stuff, Jase McClellan at pick 235 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in Round 7, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
