Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B.

The Brandon Inniss selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 37 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Flowers to cover a lot of smaller sins. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cooper Kupp gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ahmad Hardy
In No. 10 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in pick 45 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brandon Inniss
They reached a country mile for Brandon Inniss at pick No. 87, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aaron Flowers
Taking Aaron Flowers in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Gray
A slide stopped in the 197th pick, with Christian Gray worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cole Sullivan
The board had Cole Sullivan higher than the 226th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
