Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Singleton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nicholas Singleton fell into pick No. 188.

Roberts has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 13 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 44 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A big swing on Jaeden Roberts at Round 4, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 150th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at the 188th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
