Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bengals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to linebacker, which was the need that mattered most.

The Holker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
No edge and no loss on JC Latham in No. 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in the 48th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in pick 80. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Fair-plus on Miyan Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
Khordae Sydnor at slot 237 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
