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

The Bengals spent real capital to be 84 picks early on Hayden Hatten, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Corley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 26th pick they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Jenkins in the 49th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 26 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at slot 116, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick 148 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nothing to complain about; Kitan Oladapo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid up for Christian Jones at slot 196 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Value said wait; Dwight McGlothern in the 235th overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Hatten in pick No. 252, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
