Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

The needs board said one thing and the Bengals did another, using pick No. 40 on Caleb Banks while cornerback, tight end and other spots waited. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The cost of the Zuhn III reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In slot 9 they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A surprising call. With cornerback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent slot 40 on Caleb Banks, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eric Singleton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Eric Singleton Jr. at Round 3, Pick 10 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Nicholas Singleton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick 188 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They took Bud Clark at par in pick No. 196, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 223rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
