Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 5, Pick 13. The Bengals jumped the board by 65 and dared it to prove them wrong.

However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 18 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Value with a capital V on Troy Franklin in the 49th pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in Round 3, Pick 16, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in the 115th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached a country mile for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 149, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 194th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick214 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Nice patience on Joe Milton III, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach slot 237 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
