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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent pick No. 238 on Isaac Rex, a name the board had a full 84 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cowing. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 18th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in pick 49, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
You do not let a safety like Javon Bullard reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Fisher. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A wild overpay on Justin Eboigbe in No. 115, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A big swing on Justin Rogers at slot 149, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 194th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at slot 237 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac Rex
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Rex in the 238th pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
