Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals bet big and early on Jaheim Bell, 60 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Pritchett pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 18 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in the 49th overall pick with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaheim Bell well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in the 115th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in No. 151 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Good price on Grayson Murphy in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 21 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in the 254th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
