Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B.

The Bengals torched the value chart for Thor Griffith, taking him 82 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That Taylor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 17 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Steal is underselling it; Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 17 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at pick No. 81. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 118 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at No. 192, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
