Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Anim Dankwah selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 40 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in pick 18, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid up for Braden Fiske at the 49th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in Round 3, Pick 34 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They liked Jamari Thrash enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 115. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Davis in pick No. 149; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Myles Cole
No drama and no debate, Myles Cole went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They paid sticker price for Garret Greenfield in pick No. 214, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at slot 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Value with a capital V on Sheridan Jones in Round 7, Pick 17, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah at pick 238 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
