Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Bengals lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent the 107th overall pick on Jared Wiley, a name the board had a full 107 spots lower. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

Anthony at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malachi Corley in No. 49, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in slot 80 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They reached into another round for Javion Cohen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Circle this one: Cole Bishop at pick No. 148 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick175 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at pick 175 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 196th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
They barely believed it either: Daijahn Anthony still on the board at the 235th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 252 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
