Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

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

Judkins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in No. 49, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 81. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 119th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Nice patience on Malachi Moore, who had no business lasting to slot 153. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick193 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Nothing to complain about; JJ Pegues went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
