Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bengals.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Bengals walked right past. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ramsey. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 10 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at slot 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 8, with Kamari Ramsey worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A tidy little value on Zachariah Branch in No. 110, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 197th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
No drama and no debate, Ethan O'Connor went about where he belonged in pick No. 226. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
