Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureB-
The phones sank the Bengals this weekend: C+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Quinshon Judkins had no business being available in pick 122, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 14 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach on JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 76th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They jumped the gun on Elic Ayomanor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
No drama and no debate, Tommi Hill went about where he belonged in No. 117. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at pick 122 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
They reached into another round for Miles Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 189th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
