Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bengals robbed the room for McGlothern. Final grade: D+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Put together, it is a D+.

Reaching for Sinnott left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in No. 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 16. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in pick 84, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Fair-plus on Caelen Carson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 149th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 194th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slipping to pick 214 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 224 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Somehow Evan Williams was still sitting there in No. 238, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
