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

The war room fell hard for Austin Barber, and it showed at the Round 3 slot: 34 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 10th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick No. 41 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Austin Barber
Austin Barber at pick 72 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Fair-plus on Tacario Davis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
A tidy little value on DJ Campbell in slot 189, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 David Gusta
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on David Gusta. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Nwokobia went about where he belonged in the 221st pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at the 226th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
