Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Elijah Roberts at the 119th pick. The Bengals jumped the board by 53 and dared it to prove them wrong.

However the rest shakes out, Hancock at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 17th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jihaad Campbell in slot 49. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Brown at pick 153 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They took Marcus Yarns at par in pick No. 236, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in the 241st pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
