Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 73 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Paul Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 13th pick they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick45 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to Round 3, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Theo Wease Jr. in pick No. 170 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A wild overpay on Davison Igbinosun in the 171st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
