Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Aubrey Burks, 60 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Trice. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A reasonable price with a little left over, Amarius Mims in pick 24. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
The board had Adonai Mitchell higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Steal is underselling it; Bralen Trice at pick No. 56 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 80 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 115th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
By-the-book stuff, McCallan Castles at the 151st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 173 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aubrey Burks. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
