Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Nobody else had Howard Cross III anywhere near slot 193. The Bengals did, by 35 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Getting Judkins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 17th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They went early on Bradyn Swinson in No. 49, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slipping to pick No. 81 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo slid further than he should have, and the 119th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick193 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
A big swing on Howard Cross III at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
