Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Markel Bell pick is the one that will follow the Bengals into the fall. They took him 63 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Wright falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Markel Bell
A big swing on Markel Bell at No. 41, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malik Muhammad. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
They robbed the room for Dontay Corleone here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Trey Moore
They jumped the gun on Trey Moore, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dae'Quan Wright
They will replay Dae'Quan Wright at pick 226 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
