Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The Bengals torched the value chart for Brennan Jackson, taking him 40 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nothing to complain about; T'Vondre Sweat went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 80th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the 97th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
Value said wait; Brennan Jackson in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at slot 149 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They paid a round early for Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They took JD Bertrand at par in No. 214, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
A reach for Daijahn Anthony in the 224th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in the 237th overall pick with a little surplus value in Trevin Wallace. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
