Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 112 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Taylor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 17th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 49th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 81st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 118 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 152 is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick192 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They reached a country mile for Roc Taylor at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
