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

The war room fell hard for Carson Steele, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 4: 102 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reasonable price with a little left over, T'Vondre Sweat in pick 49. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Somehow Graham Barton was still sitting there in No. 58, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A reach on Malik Washington in the 80th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 3, Pick 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Nothing to complain about; Mason McCormick went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in pick No. 194 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Edefuan Ulofoshio well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Value said wait; Carson Steele in pick 224 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A wild overpay on Hayden Hatten in No. 237, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Sundell a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
