Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Blake Fisher in slot 80, a good 38 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 18th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
The board had cheaper options than Malachi Corley at Round 2, Pick 17, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A real head-scratcher, Blake Fisher in pick 80 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zak Zinter well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for McKinnley Jackson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slipping to pick No. 149 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
