Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 17 regardless, 45 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. King falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 49 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A big swing on Blake Fisher at the 97th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 115 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalen King
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen King in the 149th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They paid up for Drake Nugent at slot 194 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They paid a round early for Jordan Magee in pick 214, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brevyn Spann-Ford well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at the 237th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 18 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
