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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bengals reached some 73 spots for Tyler Batty, and value like that does not grow back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 17 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 17 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
A wild overpay on Vernon Broughton in pick 119, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at pick No. 153. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick193 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at slot 193 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
