Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Styles: B+.

Somebody in pick No. 194 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Sonny Styles, the No. 122 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Horn Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Taking Emeka Egbuka in slot 49 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 81st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra is a better player than pick No. 117 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 152nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A big swing on Jimmy Horn Jr. at No. 244, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
