Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Bengals bet big and early on Ben Sinnott, 35 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at slot 81, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A quiet steal in the 115th pick: Zak Zinter for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 127th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick No. 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 152 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
No edge and no loss on Myles Murphy in pick 214; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, LaDarius Henderson a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
