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

The Bengals bet big and early on Eyabi Okie-Anoma, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 19 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in Round 2, Pick 17, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Devontez Walker at pick No. 80. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in the 83rd pick: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They reached into another round for Blake Fisher, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A reach on McKinnley Jackson in pick 115; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Davis at pick No. 149 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They barely believed it either: Ty'Ron Hopper still on the board at No. 213. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Nothing to complain about; Tanner McLachlan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in pick 224, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 237th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
