Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in No. 112 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Kaleb Johnson, the No. 55 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Wohler lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 8th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
No drama and no debate, Landon Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 39. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 76, where Jay Higgins graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
They reached a country mile for Hunter Wohler at No. 148, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Daylen Everette
Somehow Daylen Everette was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
The board had Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson higher than the 222nd overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
