Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Hart fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Cam Hart slides to pick No. 238, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 17 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kalen King
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 81 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in Round 4, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in the 173rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A slide stopped in pick 195, with Raheim Sanders worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Hart
They robbed the room for Cam Hart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
