Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bengals to a D-.

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Dallin Holker went at the 80th pick, a good 67 picks before the board was ready. Put together, it is a D-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 18 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Value with a capital V on Xavier Worthy in No. 49, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 80th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid sticker price for Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 116, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 148 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 175th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A conviction pick on Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 196 that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A reach for Trevor Keegan in slot 235; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Zion Logue
The board had cheaper options than Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
