Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals let Green fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cayden Green, the No. 44 name on the board, stolen at No. 238.

They will need Daniels to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
They paid a round early for Avieon Terrell in the 16th pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick25 Rnd1 Nyck Harbor
In the 25th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Daniels
They talked themselves into Jalon Daniels at Round 2, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
You do not let a running back like CJ Baxter reach slot 164 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Iapani Laloulu
Steal is underselling it; Iapani Laloulu at pick 203 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cayden Green
They barely believed it either: Cayden Green still on the board at pick No. 238. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in No. 248, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
