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

The real work happened on the phones. The Bengals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Elijah Arroyo pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hardy.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Ahmad Hardy
A tidy bit of business in pick 41, where Ahmad Hardy graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Marcus Neal Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Neal Jr. at No. 72, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in Round 4, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
