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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dorian Strong at the 181st pick is 52 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 4 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 73 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 4, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
They paid a round early for Antwane Wells Jr. in pick No. 145, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
They liked Mason Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 219. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
