Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Nourzad fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Hunter Nourzad slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 18 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 80th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Benson in pick 97. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in pick No. 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in No. 149, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
Somehow Hunter Nourzad was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 19, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Value with a capital V on Steele Chambers in the 214th pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
