Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Mullings: A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kalel Mullings tumbling to the Bengals in the 195th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

The White reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In the end it comes back to Harold Fannin Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 49th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in pick 81 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They paid sticker price for Nick Nash in pick No. 152, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the 189th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
You do not let a specialist like Andres Borregales reach No. 191 and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at Round 6, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White in slot 237 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at No. 250. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
