Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall

FutureB
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bengals reached some 67 spots for Devin Culp, and value like that does not grow back.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Flournoy. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the 49th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
The board fumbled Kingsley Suamataia all the way to the 80th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in Round 3, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at pick No. 115 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at slot 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They went early on Justin Rogers in slot 184, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
They did well to land Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 194, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Circle this one: Trente Jones at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Value with a capital V on Nathaniel Watson in No. 224, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Devin Culp
They left a pile of value on the table to take Devin Culp this early at the 237th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Flournoy at Round 7, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
