Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Ratledge should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B-.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tate Ratledge, the No. 59 name on the board, in the 92nd overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Cypress II pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
By-the-book stuff, Jack Sawyer at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sebastian Castro
Fair-plus on Sebastian Castro, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 28, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
No edge and no loss on Wyatt Milum in No. 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas in slot 156 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at the 188th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Chip Trayanum
No drama and no debate, Chip Trayanum went about where he belonged in the 220th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
