Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Roman Wilson, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Minkah Fitzpatrick pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 80 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 15 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Fair-plus on Dallin Holker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in No. 173 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at slot 196 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Value with a capital V on Blake Watson in pick 238, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 254th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
