Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Bengals a B, Devonshire and all.

Call it larceny. M.J. Devonshire sat on the board until the 238th pick, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Sundell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
They did well to land JC Latham in pick 18, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick26 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the Round 1 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in the 97th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Value with a capital V on Will Shipley in slot 115, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They took Dallin Holker at par in the 149th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylen Harrell a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
A wild overpay on Jalen Sundell in Round 6, Pick 39, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 224 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 17 with a little surplus value in Trevin Wallace. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
Steal is underselling it; M.J. Devonshire at pick 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
