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

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 4, Pick 15 on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint a full 32 spots early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

However the rest shakes out, Powers-Johnson at that price is a win they earned. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in Round 2, Pick 17 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board fumbled Jackson Powers-Johnson all the way to the 80th pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A quiet steal in the 151st overall pick: Cam Hart for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 173 with a little surplus value in Grayson Murphy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Frank Gore Jr. at No. 196 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick No. 238 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 254th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
