Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Judkins: B.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quinshon Judkins fell into Round 5, Pick 15. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 25 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Booker in No. 49. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to Round 4, Pick 16, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in slot 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Value said wait; Nohl Williams in the 191st pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
