Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Nobody had Hayden Hatten this high, and it is not close. The Bengals reached 63 spots to get him at pick 252.

On value alone, Rice makes the weekend a net positive. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end and quarterback still on the board. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 27 they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid up for Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A surprising call. With tight end and quarterback still to address, they spent No. 80 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick No. 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in the 116th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Oladapo at the 148th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Nice patience on Jordan Jefferson, who had no business lasting to pick 196. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in the 222nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They went early on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 7, Pick 15, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at slot 252. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
