Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Bengals torched the value chart for Braelon Allen, taking him 34 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
They went early on Byron Murphy II in slot 33, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 49th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 80th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Value said wait; Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 118 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Myles Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Jones this early at No. 173. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
By-the-book stuff, Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No drama and no debate, De'Corian Clark went about where he belonged in pick No. 196. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
