Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Thomas Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Brian Thomas Jr. got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at Round 3, Pick 16. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 49 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Circle this one: Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 3, Pick 16 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They let Audric Estime come to them and pounced at the 116th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cam Hart in pick 148, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach slot 175 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
