Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Andrew Raym a full 45 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 18th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They did well to land Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A wild overpay on Blake Fisher in pick 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 97th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid a round early for Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 115, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in No. 149 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Raym well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A reach on Myles Murphy in pick No. 214; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 224 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in the 237th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 KT Leveston
By-the-book stuff, KT Leveston at pick 238 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
