Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Barryn Sorrell, 135 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Landing Tuten that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 17th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at the 81st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A real head-scratcher, Barryn Sorrell in No. 152 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at pick 191 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
