Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bengals.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Bengals walked right past. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

On value alone, Kiner makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 17 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 85 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke Kandra in pick 117. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A straight-up fair deal on Ollie Gordon II at the 152nd pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
They read the board right and Corey Kiner was the payoff at No. 191. It fills a real need, too.
