Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 254 on Hayden Hatten a full 59 spots early.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Fashanu steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 18 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at pick 49, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 16. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in No. 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
The board had cheaper options than Michael Barrett at the 173rd overall pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at No. 254. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
