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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Fadil Diggs a full 77 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Noel pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
They went early on Landon Jackson in the 17th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at No. 49 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 81 on Jared Ivey with tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 118 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
A big swing on Fadil Diggs at the 154th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Steal is underselling it; Nohl Williams at slot 195 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
