Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals let Judkins fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Quinshon Judkins had no business being available in the 152nd overall pick, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Brown pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 24 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in pick 49, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore slipping to Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at No. 97 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 117th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 152 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Arroyo in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
