Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Lee Hunter, 29 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Joly makes the weekend a net positive. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
No edge and no loss on Kadyn Proctor in No. 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Lee Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
They paid a round early for Skyler Bell in the 72nd pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They read the board right and Justin Joly was the payoff at pick 110. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 8 with a little surplus value in Thaddeus Dixon. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
A conviction pick on Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick226 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at slot 226 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
