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

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan James at No. 89 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 49 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James in pick No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They will replay Tai Felton at No. 117 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Taking Tommi Hill in pick 152 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser slipping to the 191st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
