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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bengals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Coleman to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 80 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at the 115th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 151 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Good price on Jaylen Wright in pick 164, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick No. 173. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Knox at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
They paid sticker price for Jontrey Hunter in the 220th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in No. 238, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Aaron Frost at slot 254 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
