Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall F
ValueD- NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Bengals went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Gee Scott Jr., 370 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the 21st overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than pick 94 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd3 Gee Scott Jr.
Value said wait; Gee Scott Jr. in pick No. 101 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 119th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brashard Smith at No. 153. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in slot 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They reached a country mile for Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Connor Colby in No. 194. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tyler Loop
They reached into another round for Tyler Loop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick228 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xzavier Henderson in pick 228, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the 244th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick252 Rnd7 Aidan Keanaaina
A wild overpay on Aidan Keanaaina in Round 7, Pick 36, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ethan Downs well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
