Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cornelius Johnson, pick 237, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

They are betting Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Michael Wilson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in slot 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A premium they did not need to pay, Braden Fiske a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 80th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in No. 90, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at pick 97. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They read the board right and Jalen McMillan was the payoff at the 115th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Good price on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jase McClellan. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in No. 214, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caedan Wallace in slot 224. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
Circle this one: M.J. Devonshire at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to pick 237, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They did well to land Tylan Grable in pick No. 238, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
