Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bengals.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bengals spent slot 192 on Brian Ugwu, a name most had 219 spots down the list.

Warren at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 17th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in pick 49: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
The board had Azareye'h Thomas higher than pick No. 118, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at No. 152 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu in the 192nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
