Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Bengals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Wilson lower, and that gap is the story.

The Bengals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick10 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 10 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jayden Maiava
A conviction pick on Jayden Maiava at the 33rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in No. 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyreak Sapp
No drama and no debate, Tyreak Sapp went about where he belonged in the 48th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in pick No. 74 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner at pick 225 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
