Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesD+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Neal: B-.

Somebody in pick 185 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Devin Neal, the No. 94 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every board in the league had Stewart lower, and that gap is the story. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 19th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They reached a country mile for Kenneth Grant at slot 41, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
They reached into another round for Shemar Stewart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They talked themselves into Jaeden Roberts at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to No. 121, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in pick No. 148, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in Round 6, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
