Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Campbell from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Jihaad Campbell slides to the Round 3 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The trade work was a quiet net positive. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 17th overall pick they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 49: Harold Fannin Jr. for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at No. 81 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 117th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
