Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Delmar Glaze a full 119 spots early.

Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Adding Alex Highsmith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick 21 they get a premier pass rusher. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at slot 49 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Circle this one: Jalen McMillan at pick No. 115 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at the 173rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 196 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 238 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Delmar Glaze
A wild overpay on Delmar Glaze in pick No. 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
