Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B.

Some picks age like wine; Jowon Briggs at pick 194 will need to, sitting 76 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 22nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Somehow Tyler Guyton was still sitting there in pick No. 49, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at slot 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
They let Caelen Carson come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 8. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Trey Benson
They will replay Trey Benson at No. 115 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 149th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at slot 194 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Taking Trente Jones in No. 214 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in pick No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams slipping to pick 230 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 237th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
