Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Bengals left offensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That Bellamy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In No. 23 they get a seam-stretching tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ahmad Moten Sr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ahmad Moten Sr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brice Pollock
By-the-book stuff, Brice Pollock at Round 3, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Teitum Tuioti
Fair-plus on Teitum Tuioti, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick125 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
A straight-up fair deal on Whit Weeks at the 125th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Junior Sherrill
Junior Sherrill at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
Quietly one of the better values of the day, C.J. Fite at pick 203. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jayden Bellamy
The board had Jayden Bellamy higher than slot 244, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
