Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Jordan Hall, 79 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 10 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him.
Pick42 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
A wild overpay on Trevor Goosby in pick 42, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in pick No. 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
They paid a round early for DJ McKinney in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at the 191st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They reached a country mile for Jordan Hall at No. 225, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
