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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bengals took Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 115, roughly 103 spots before his name belonged.

The Harden steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They reached a country mile for Ruke Orhorhoro at the 49th pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They did well to land Mike Sainristil in pick No. 80, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Grayson Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Grayson Murphy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in No. 194 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the 220th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Austin Reed
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Reed well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jennings went about where he belonged in pick 237. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in slot 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at the 246th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
