Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a B.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 84 picks early on Hayden Hatten, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mahogany. With tight end and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the 32nd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 61 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ruke Orhorhoro at the 80th pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A surprising call. With tight end and quarterback still to address, they spent slot 92 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to No. 95. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 116th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick133 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in pick No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They liked Jaylen Wright enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 148. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dwight McGlothern well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They jumped the gun on Matthew Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Value said wait; Hayden Hatten in No. 252 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
