Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Brooks should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a D.

Somebody took the Bengals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D.

Brooks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick30 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 30 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 49th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in slot 81, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 118 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 131 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 154 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 195 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
