Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Damien Martinez at pick 119 regardless, 37 picks early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Briningstool. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in pick No. 17 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They let Tyleik Williams come to them and pounced at the 49th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They paid sticker price for Jared Ivey in the 81st pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 Damien Martinez
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Damien Martinez. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 15. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
The board fumbled Jake Briningstool all the way to pick 193, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
