Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureB
The phones sank the Bengals this weekend: D.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kenyatta Jackson Jr., 38 picks early at No. 88. Put together, it is a D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Klare.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 10 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 2, Pick 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They went early on Brian Parker II in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in No. 88, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Klare
They robbed the room for Max Klare here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 109th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
The board had Jalon Kilgore higher than slot 130, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 198 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in the 225th pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
