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

The Bengals went off the board in a big way for DeMonte Capehart, 46 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Watts steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 18 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to pick 49. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at the 116th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 5, Pick 12 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in slot 175 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at slot 196 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at No. 235 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at the 252nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
