Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Isaiah Davis in pick 196, a good 20 spots before the room expected him. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. That Goncalves pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 18 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick No. 49 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 80th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Value with a capital V on Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 15, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at the 151st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick 173 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick No. 196 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jennings at Round 7, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
