Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Hunter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lee Hunter got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the 72nd overall pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. 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.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 10th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick No. 72 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
They barely believed it either: Ted Hurst still on the board at slot 110. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the 189th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
No edge and no loss on Jalen Stroman in No. 199; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick221 Rnd7 Harrison Wallace III
Harrison Wallace III in Round 7, Pick 5 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
A straight-up fair deal on John Michael Gyllenborg at pick 226, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
