Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The phones were a trap the Bengals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Pierce steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Landon Jackson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Good price on Landon Jackson in pick No. 49, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slid further than he should have, and the 81st overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They let Jordan Phillips come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 17. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A tidy bit of business in slot 153, where Hollin Pierce graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
