Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Batty; the Bengals did not wait, grabbing him 46 spots ahead at pick 193. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Getting Ayomanor where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They took JT Tuimoloau at par in pick No. 49, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slid further than he should have, and the 81st overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They went early on Rylie Mills in Round 4, Pick 17, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the 153rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at No. 193. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Adams in Round 7, Pick 16, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
