Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trajan Jeffcoat at pick 237 regardless, 71 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Eichenberg.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at slot 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in pick 63; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Newton at the 131st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dillon Johnson this early at No. 149. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Tommy Eichenberg for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A real head-scratcher, Jowon Briggs in Round 7, Pick 4 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat at No. 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
