Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals land in the muddy middle: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Ty Robinson at pick 81 will need to, sitting 81 spots clear of his grade. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The Judkins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Bengals indulged a want in Kennard while a need in tight end, wide receiver and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A surprising call. With tight end, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the 49th overall pick on Kyle Kennard, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 119 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 153 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Somehow Chase Lundt was still sitting there in pick 193, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
