Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took C.J. Fite a full 25 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Bell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 C.J. Fite
This one needs a full-page explanation: C.J. Fite in Round 3, Pick 9, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
No drama and no debate, Monroe Freeling went about where he belonged in No. 108. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
A quiet steal in the 189th overall pick: Antonio Kite for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner at slot 198 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Nice patience on Malik Hartford, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
