Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Evan Anderson at pick 214, a reach of 69 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Wallace pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 49th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in No. 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in slot 115, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They paid sticker price for Dallin Holker in pick 149, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A conviction pick on Kendall Milton at pick 194 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Value said wait; Evan Anderson in pick No. 214 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They let Caedan Wallace come to them and pounced at No. 224. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 237 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at the 238th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
