Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B+.

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Phillip Webb went at the 192nd overall pick, a good 101 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Sampson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at the 53rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Sampson in No. 81, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They barely believed it either: Maxwell Hairston still on the board at slot 117. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 140th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Value said wait; Jonah Monheim in the 151st overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in pick 164 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 192nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A conviction pick on Shilo Sanders at slot 235 that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
