Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Landon Jackson this high, and it is not close. The Bengals reached 27 spots to get him at the 17th overall pick. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Arroyo makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 17 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Good price on Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 81st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 119th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A reach on Ty Robinson in slot 153; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in pick 193 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
