Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Ransom: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Lathan Ransom tumbling to the Bengals in No. 192 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 17th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the 49th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Somehow Colston Loveland was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at Round 4, Pick 17 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 152 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick No. 192 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
