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

The war room fell hard for Isaac Guerendo, and it showed at the 235th overall pick: 22 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while cornerback, tight end and other spots went begging.

Hunt falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 29 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Fair-plus on Kris Jenkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kingsley Suamataia at pick 61. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 16 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with cornerback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in the 116th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 175th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
No drama and no debate, Aki Ogunbiyi went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 21. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Good price on Joshua Cephus in the 252nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
