Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Cooper Jr.: B-.

Somebody in pick 110 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Omar Cooper Jr., the No. 82 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 10 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 72: Darrell Jackson Jr. for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 110th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in pick No. 189 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in the 199th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
