Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
The Briggs reach set the tone, and the Bengals never recovered: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jowon Briggs at Round 6, Pick 39, a reach of 56 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 4th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 21 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in No. 38. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They went early on Gabriel Murphy in slot 80, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid up for McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalen King
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 13: Kalen King for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jowon Briggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jowon Briggs in Round 6, Pick 39, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miyan Williams. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Owens well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
