Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 17 on Collin Oliver a full 98 spots early. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Paul Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If Mike Green and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyleik Williams in pick No. 49. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Skattebo in No. 81, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to the 119th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153 Rnd5 Sam Brown Jr.
They talked themselves into Sam Brown Jr. at slot 153, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
Value said wait; Collin Oliver in the 193rd pick says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
