Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bengals spent the 153rd pick on Que Robinson, a name most had 38 spots down the list.

The Bengals indulged a want in Swinson while a need in cornerback, tight end and other spots stayed open. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Dike value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Bradyn Swinson adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 81 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
A slide stopped in pick No. 119, with Chimere Dike worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick193 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They reached into another round for Howard Cross III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
