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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Vernon Broughton a full 105 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Mukuba at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at slot 17 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They jumped the gun on Demetrius Knight Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
A big swing on Vernon Broughton at pick No. 81, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 119 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
A cornerback of that caliber at the 193rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
