Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Benjamin Morrison at the Round 4 slot is 74 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Landing Hampton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In pick No. 13 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kenneth Grant. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 78th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
A wild overpay on Benjamin Morrison in No. 114, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Steal is underselling it; Michael Taaffe at Round 5, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190 Rnd6 Donovan Jackson
They robbed the room for Donovan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
