Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If Sundell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick 49 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Javon Baker
A reach for Javon Baker in No. 175; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 196 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in the 235th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They let Trey Taylor come to them and pounced at slot 252. It adds depth where they could use a little.
