Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB
Hecht should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B+.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Sam Hecht fell into Round 4, Pick 10.

They will need Jatta to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 10th pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where CJ Allen graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A safety of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 8 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in pick No. 110 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in No. 189 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in the 199th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
A tidy little value on Keyshaun Elliott in pick 221, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Jatta in slot 226, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
