Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Sampson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in pick No. 154 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Dylan Sampson, the No. 65 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 17th overall pick they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 81st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in Round 4, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in pick 195, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
