Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesA+ FutureF
The Bengals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: C.

The Collin Oliver pick is the one that will follow the Bengals into the fall. They took him 127 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a ballhawk on the back end, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick17 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 DJ Giddens
A wild overpay on DJ Giddens in slot 49, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mitchell Evans
A real head-scratcher, Mitchell Evans in the 81st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in pick No. 118 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the 176th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in No. 195, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
