Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals let Campbell fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jihaad Campbell, pick No. 109, roughly 69 picks past where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Bengals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 29th overall pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick No. 75 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach No. 94 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 109 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 132nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at Round 5, Pick 12. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 165 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 188th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
