Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Bengals torched the value chart for Corey Kiner, taking him 52 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick No. 17 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 81st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers in the 119th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at slot 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
Value said wait; Corey Kiner in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
