Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Bengals bet big and early on Myles Jones, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Sinnott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at the 80th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to pick 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ben Sinnott in the 151st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Myles Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Jones in pick No. 173, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They read the board right and Josh Proctor was the payoff at the 196th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
