Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Oladapo: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kitan Oladapo got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at slot 196.

If Sinnott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 49th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 80 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at the 116th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Circle this one: Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 175 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 196 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 235 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid sticker price for Joshua Cephus in slot 252, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
