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

The Bengals bet big and early on Jared Wiley, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They banked enough surplus on Watson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 20 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than the 49th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 16. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They talked themselves into Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 115, where Blake Fisher graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in No. 151. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Eboigbe. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A wild overpay on Xavier Thomas in Round 5, Pick 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 196th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
A big swing on Jared Wiley at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Taking Blake Watson in pick 254 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
