Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Bengals. For now, C.

The war room fell hard for Trikweze Bridges, and it showed at pick 81: 347 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Landing Gillotte that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Shemar Stewart and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 17 they get a bendy edge with upside. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 49th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Trikweze Bridges
A wild overpay on Trikweze Bridges in No. 81, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tight end of that caliber at pick 119 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Evan Prater
They talked themselves into Evan Prater at Round 5, Pick 15, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ashton Gillotte
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Ashton Gillotte in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
