Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Bishop. Final grade: B.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cole Bishop, the No. 129 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 15. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The McLachlan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Value with a capital V on Caelen Carson in slot 80, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dominick Puni in the 117th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A safety of that caliber at No. 151 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Nice patience on Jaylen Wright, who had no business lasting to the 173rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They read the board right and Taulia Tagovailoa was the payoff at pick 238. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at the 254th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
