Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Wright from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jaylen Wright had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 34, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 18 they get juice off the edge. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in slot 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in the 115th pick, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A quiet steal in the 149th overall pick: Jaylin Simpson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Nice patience on Tip Reiman, who had no business lasting to pick No. 194. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Taking Trente Jones in Round 6, Pick 39 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
