Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped All from sliding. Grade: D.

The phones were a trap the Bengals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is All.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
The board fumbled Terrion Arnold all the way to the 49th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Circle this one: Malachi Corley at slot 80 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 23 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A running back of that caliber at the 148th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 175th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace slipping to pick 196 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in slot 235 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Erick All
They will replay Erick All at pick No. 252 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
