Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Nobody else had Josh Proctor anywhere near No. 214. The Bengals did, by 30 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

The Sinnott pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 18th overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 49 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in pick 97; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at No. 194 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Proctor in slot 214, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
