Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Bengals let Burch fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

When a board-topper like Jordan Burch slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. Put together, it is a D.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Stewart pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, quarterback and other spots. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 10th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick22 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Shemar Stewart adds an edge rusher and leaves tight end, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Josh Conerly Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 41 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 72 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 78th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick No. 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Maxwell Hairston in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 5, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 193 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at the 233rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Burch
They will replay Jordan Burch at the 240th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
