Overall B

ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-

The Bengals let Helm fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in pick 119 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Gunnar Helm, the No. 90 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Royals lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick17 Rnd1 Travis Hunter

In pick No. 17 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick49 Rnd2 Jalen Royals

Jalen Royals at the 49th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick81 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard

Fair-plus on Kyle Kennard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.

Pick119 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm

You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach pick 119 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Pick153 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell

A conviction pick on Barryn Sorrell at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.

Pick193 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
