Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Thomas Jr.. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Brian Thomas Jr., the No. 28 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 49th pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 18th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at the 95th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaden Hicks at No. 115 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They took Jordan Travis at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
A clean, defensible pick in pick 196 with a little surplus value in Aki Ogunbiyi. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 18 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jennings went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
