Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Chip Trayanum. He came off 52 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Styles steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In slot 28 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
No drama and no debate, Earnest Greene III went about where he belonged in No. 60. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Nice patience on Sonny Styles, who had no business lasting to the 92nd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 124 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Will Sheppard
They went early on Will Sheppard in the 156th pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They paid a round early for Xavier Truss in Round 6, Pick 28, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Chip Trayanum
Chip Trayanum in Round 7, Pick 28 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
