Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Schwesinger from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Carson Schwesinger got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 17 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in pick 81, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach slot 118 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 5, Pick 15 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
They robbed the room for Carson Schwesinger here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
