Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B.

The Bengals clearly saw something nobody else did in Xavier Thomas, taking him 50 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Darius Slay gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khyree Jackson this early at the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They paid a round early for Grayson Murphy in pick No. 156, more than the board wanted. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick166 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aki Ogunbiyi. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 173rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 196th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick207 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
They paid up for Daequan Hardy at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jordan Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Johnson at pick 254, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
