Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for McCoy: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bru McCoy slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick No. 237. Highway robbery.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 48, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 80th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They robbed the room for Nehemiah Pritchett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 173rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick194 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
No edge and no loss on Darius Muasau in Round 6, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bru McCoy in No. 237, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
No drama and no debate, Aubrey Burks went about where he belonged in No. 254. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
