Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 245 will need to, sitting 27 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 56 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They took Tyleik Williams at par in slot 88, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 245, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick254 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick 254 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
