Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B.

The Bengals went off the board in a big way for Hayden Hatten, 78 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Getting Logan Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 61 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 16 with a little surplus value in Cooper Beebe. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley slipping to pick No. 92 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at the 116th overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They went early on Jaylen Wright in the 148th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 175 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in Round 6, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in slot 207 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Hatten well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They robbed the room for Kenny Logan Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
