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

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Demani Richardson at the 238th overall pick regardless, 76 picks early.

The Wallace value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 18 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A conviction pick on Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 17 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Christian Mahogany well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Value said wait; McKinnley Jackson in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at slot 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
By-the-book stuff, Kendall Milton at pick No. 194 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They went early on Trey Knox in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick 224 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach at Round 7, Pick 17 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
They reached a country mile for Demani Richardson at the 238th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
