Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

Somebody took the Bengals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

That Guyton pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 18 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Nice patience on Ruke Orhorhoro, who had no business lasting to the 80th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A wild overpay on McKinnley Jackson in Round 3, Pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick No. 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Good price on Nehemiah Pritchett in the 149th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A premium they did not need to pay, Drake Nugent a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune in pick No. 214 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
