Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Kiser. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jack Kiser slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at No. 256. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than Round 2, Pick 17, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 63rd pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 81 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 118th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 154 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They let JJ Pegues come to them and pounced at slot 195. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
