Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

The Bengals torched the value chart for John Williams, taking him 76 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Campbell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 17 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in No. 49: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Value said wait; Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 119th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 153 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
