Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jordan James, the No. 119 name on the board, in pick 153. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 49th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the 81st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in slot 119 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jordan James
The board fumbled Jordan James all the way to Round 5, Pick 15, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
