Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Caedan Wallace a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Getting Thomas Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 18th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 16, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keith Randolph Jr.. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick 173 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zion Logue
By-the-book stuff, Zion Logue at No. 238 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They reached into another round for Caedan Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
