Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jaylin Noel at the 254th pick. The Bengals jumped the board by 122 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Barner makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in pick No. 49, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 80th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 115th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 151 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
They paid sticker price for Jasheen Davis in slot 173, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick196 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They read the board right and AJ Barner was the payoff at pick 196. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derek Wingo well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Noel in pick No. 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
