Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 119th pick: the Bengals steal Dorlus and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Brandon Dorlus slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick 119. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
By-the-book stuff, Amarius Mims at the 20th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at the 49th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Nice patience on Sedrick Van Pran, who had no business lasting to pick No. 80. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at Round 3, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
The board fumbled Braden Fiske all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Nothing to complain about; Maason Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brandon Dorlus
They will replay Brandon Dorlus at pick 119 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They paid sticker price for Dallin Holker in slot 149, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
