Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Thomas. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Azareye'h Thomas tumbling to the Bengals in pick No. 191 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Nice patience on Abdul Carter, who had no business lasting to slot 17. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at No. 81. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in pick 117, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 152 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Circle this one: Elijah Arroyo at the 182nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
