Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The Bengals did not so much draft Skyler Gill-Howard as overpay for him, 23 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 LT Overton
A straight-up fair deal on LT Overton at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at Round 3, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in pick 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
No edge and no loss on Trebor Pena in the 197th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ahmaad Moses. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
