Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Bengals robbed the room for Hampton. Final grade: B.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Omarion Hampton, the No. 18 name on the board, in pick 81.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 17 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to the 81st pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jack Bech
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in pick 152 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach No. 191 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the 241st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
