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

You could see the war room lean forward. Roger Rosengarten at slot 175 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Wallace lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 18 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They paid sticker price for Malachi Corley in No. 49, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at Round 3, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at pick No. 116, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Josh Newton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Josh Newton in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at the 175th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 196th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
They liked Josh Wallace enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 235. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Good price on Kenny Logan Jr. in the 252nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
