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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent slot 116 on Theo Johnson, a name the board had a full 20 spots lower. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 18 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in No. 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at slot 80 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at Round 4, Pick 16. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in pick No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 175th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in the 196th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
