Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B+.

The Bengals bet big and early on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, 38 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 20 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 49th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 119, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They reached into another round for Jack Kiser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in slot 191 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at slot 193 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
