Draft Grade — Bengals

ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Bengals, and a C to match.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for James Brockermeyer. He came off 117 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Hit on Jaden Greathouse and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at pick No. 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tim Keenan III
No drama and no debate, Tim Keenan III went about where he belonged in No. 57. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 89th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at slot 125 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at pick 164 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb at the 203rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 James Brockermeyer
Value said wait; James Brockermeyer in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl in the 252nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
