Draft Grade — Bengals

The Turner III reach set a tone the Bengals could not shake: F.

Nobody else had Charles Turner III anywhere near Round 7, Pick 27. The Bengals did, by 51 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in the 36th pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cade Stover
They paid up for Cade Stover at Round 2, Pick 27 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 80 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 86 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 115 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
By-the-book stuff, Daijun Edwards at slot 188 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy bit of business in the 198th overall pick, where Tahj Washington graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at No. 214 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They reached a country mile for Jalen Sundell at the 224th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
They reached into another round for Charles Turner III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
