Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Wallace: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Caedan Wallace got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Murphy lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 49th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cade Stover. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Taking Trey Benson in slot 114 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They let Ainias Smith come to them and pounced at the 148th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick No. 193 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at pick 214 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They barely believed it either: Josh Proctor still on the board at No. 237. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
