Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Brandon Cleveland in slot 226, a good 59 spots before the room expected him.

They banked enough surplus on Ramsey to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Wheatley pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, wide receiver and other spots.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In pick 26 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at the 72nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in slot 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A surprising call. With tight end, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the 91st pick on Zakee Wheatley, a safety they were not short of.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at Round 4, Pick 10 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
They liked Charles Jagusah enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 8. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brandon Cleveland
Brandon Cleveland at slot 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
