Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Neal should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B+.

When a board-topper like Devin Neal slides to the 188th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They are betting Ivey proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Ivey. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at slot 117. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in pick No. 152 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They robbed the room for Mason Taylor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 188th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in pick 191, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
