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

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jared Wiley at pick 254 regardless, 36 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Barton makes the weekend a net positive.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in pick 49, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the 80th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 15. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
No edge and no loss on Jasheen Davis in pick No. 173; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in the 196th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in pick 238 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
