Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bengals: C+.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 87 picks early on Nick Martin, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on Mike Green and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 17 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ozzy Trapilo. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in slot 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A conviction pick on Ty Robinson at the 153rd pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Nick Martin
A real head-scratcher, Nick Martin in pick 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
