Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Bengals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Bengals had louder needs to answer first.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pritchett. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 18 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 25 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in No. 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Good price on Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with tight end, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 116th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to the 148th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Fair-plus on Walter Rouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
