Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 72 on Harold Perkins Jr. a full 62 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 10 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Peter Woods
A slide stopped in pick No. 41, with Peter Woods worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A big swing on Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 72, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
A quiet steal in slot 110: Jonah Coleman for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aamil Wagner at the 189th pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
By-the-book stuff, Pat Coogan at Round 6, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
A conviction pick on Kaden Wetjen at the 221st overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher in pick 226 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
