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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Chris Braswell tumbling to the Bengals in the 80th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They read the board right and Olumuyiwa Fashanu was the payoff at Round 1, Pick 18. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jer'Zhan Newton
The board fumbled Jer'Zhan Newton all the way to the 49th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Taking Chris Braswell in slot 80 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in No. 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
The board had Jaylin Simpson higher than the 149th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Fabien Lovett at pick 194. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 214 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
