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

The Bengals bet big and early on Tyrice Knight, 19 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Wallace where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 80th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They jumped the gun on Maason Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Good price on Mason McCormick in pick No. 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They went early on Logan Lee in the 194th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 214. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Caedan Wallace for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They talked themselves into Tyrice Knight at the 237th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They let Tatum Bethune come to them and pounced at pick No. 238. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
