Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Kiner should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Corey Kiner slides to No. 246, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 17th pick they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
They let T.J. Sanders come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at pick 61. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in No. 198 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They will replay Chimere Dike at pick No. 237 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Circle this one: Corey Kiner at the 246th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
