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

The Bengals bet big and early on Charles Turner III, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in the 49th pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Somehow Christian Haynes was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at slot 116, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A conviction pick on Trevor Keegan at pick No. 148 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
They took Caedan Wallace at par in pick 175, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in the 196th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 KT Leveston
By-the-book stuff, KT Leveston at pick No. 235 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
They reached a country mile for Charles Turner III at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
