Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C
ValueD NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Bengals, and a C to match.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 49 on Antwaun Powell-Ryland a full 101 spots early.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with cornerback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Royals value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

So much rides on Princely Umanmielen that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 17th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Antwaun Powell-Ryland while clear needs at cornerback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
The board fumbled Jalen Royals all the way to the 81st pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
A clean, defensible pick in No. 119 with a little surplus value in Kalel Mullings. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown slipping to slot 153 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Logan Parr
A real head-scratcher, Logan Parr in Round 6, Pick 17 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
