Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bengals would have aced it. Jalen Coker at pick 175 is 84 spots clear of where he belonged.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gore Jr.. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in No. 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 49th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 80th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalen Coker
They reached into another round for Jalen Coker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in pick 196 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 235 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bub Means
They jumped the gun on Bub Means, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
