Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Thomas Fidone II went at Round 7, Pick 32, a good 108 picks before the board was ready. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mukuba. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 17th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 49 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in pick 94, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A conviction pick on Anthony Belton at slot 103 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at Round 4, Pick 17 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 154 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick195 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 17 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in the 238th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thomas Fidone II this early at No. 250. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
