Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Beebe fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Cooper Beebe slides to Round 4, Pick 15, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The Logue pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 18 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 49th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in slot 80 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 115th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Frank Gore Jr. at pick 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick No. 196 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A conviction pick on Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in the 254th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
