Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Some picks age like wine; Jordan Hall at pick 198 will need to, sitting 109 spots clear of his grade.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Mathews Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 8 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on A.J. Haulcy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A reach for Charles Jagusah in pick 109; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They let Jermaine Mathews Jr. come to them and pounced at the 188th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
A wild overpay on Jordan Hall in No. 198, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A conviction pick on Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 8 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
