Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Bengals skipped the loudest one: tight end is exactly as bare as it was.

Baron has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
No drama and no debate, Tyleik Williams went about where he belonged in slot 28. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 60th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
No edge and no loss on Sonny Styles in pick No. 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 124 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 156 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at Round 6, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dane Key
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Dane Key. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
