Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Princewill Umanmielen; the Bengals did not wait, grabbing him 70 spots ahead at the 198th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick39 Rnd2 Mansoor Delane
You do not let a cornerback like Mansoor Delane reach the 39th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They will replay CJ Allen at pick No. 63 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green in slot 70 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton slid further than he should have, and No. 109 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 31, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
They paid a round early for Rayshaun Benny in the 187th pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Princewill Umanmielen. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A reach for Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 6; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
