Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bengals won the night they stopped Stewart from sliding. Grade: C.

Thirty-one other rooms let Josaiah Stewart slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick No. 177. Highway robbery. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Shemar Stewart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 42 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at slot 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at the 58th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at the 81st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 119 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at Round 4, Pick 30 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick193 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at the 193rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
