Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a B.

The Jalen Rivers selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 66 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Judkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Tarheeb Still gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In slot 25 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in Round 2, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott slid further than he should have, and pick 81 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at No. 89. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 117 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 4, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A big swing on Miles Frazier at No. 152, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 191 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Rivers in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
