Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesC- FutureB+
The Bengals landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bengals reached some 207 spots for Josh Williams, and value like that does not grow back. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

However the rest shakes out, Harris at that price is a win they earned. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 28th pick they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 92 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 102 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Josh Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josh Williams this early at the 124th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman in pick No. 196 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
Gavin Bartholomew in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
