Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The phones sank the Bengals this weekend: D.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Devin Culp, 79 picks early at the Round 7 slot.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thomas Jr..

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Fair-plus on Malik Nabers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick10 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 10 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 23 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board fumbled Brian Thomas Jr. all the way to pick No. 49, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 80th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at slot 86 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
Value said wait; Nehemiah Pritchett in the 111th overall pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 116th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Steele Chambers
The board had cheaper options than Steele Chambers at pick 175, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Josh Wallace well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Devin Culp at No. 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
