Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Myles Murphy went at the Round 5 slot, a good 46 picks before the board was ready.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Getting Thomas Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The Bengals paired the rookies with proven help, David Njoku leading the way. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Rome Odunze at the 18th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 23 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 53 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Value with a capital V on Jonathon Brooks in slot 54, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamren Kinchens at the 86th overall pick is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 116th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Myles Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Murphy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Erick All
A real head-scratcher, Erick All in Round 5, Pick 39 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in slot 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 256 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
