Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bengals did exactly that with Trajan Jeffcoat in slot 237.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Vaki makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 16. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in No. 97 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in pick 149, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
The board had Sione Vaki higher than Round 6, Pick 19, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 214th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick224 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Daijun Edwards. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat in No. 237 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
