Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

The Cam Horsley pick is the one that will follow the Bengals into the fall. They took him 63 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Briningstool. With cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 49 leaves cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick81 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
They paid up for Jamaree Caldwell at the 118th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick 154 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Somehow Jake Briningstool was still sitting there in the 195th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
