Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B to prove it.

For all the boxes ticked, the Bengals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Phillips. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 51 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They did well to land Cade Stover in the 80th pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bucky Irving in Round 3, Pick 34. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips is a better player than No. 117 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 178 with a little surplus value in Braiden McGregor. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick208 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at No. 208 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 39. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
