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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bengals walked out of the weekend still thin at linebacker, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The cost of the Samac reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick 23 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Fair-plus on Keon Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They read the board right and Michael Hall Jr. was the payoff at the 80th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at pick No. 115 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at Round 5, Pick 13 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They did well to land Nathan Thomas in slot 194, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in the 214th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson is a better player than pick 224 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nick Samac
Nick Samac in slot 237 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
