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

The Collin Oliver selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 98 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They liked Gunnar Helm enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 17. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
A big swing on Bhayshul Tuten at the 125th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
They left a pile of value on the table to take Collin Oliver this early at pick No. 193. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
