Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Zak Zinter. He came off 25 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Magee value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 DJ James
No edge and no loss on DJ James in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zak Zinter well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A reach on Braelon Allen in the 97th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick No. 115 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in No. 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 194th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Value with a capital V on Jaylan Ford in No. 214, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 237 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A slide stopped in the 238th pick, with Trey Knox worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
