Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kendall Milton in the 149th pick, a good 52 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Liufau. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 27th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They jumped the gun on Malachi Corley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to pick No. 71. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 80th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in No. 90 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 97 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 115th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
They talked themselves into Kendall Milton at pick No. 149, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
You do not let a linebacker like Marist Liufau reach the 194th overall pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
A conviction pick on Daijahn Anthony at No. 224 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They did well to land Dominique Hampton in slot 238, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
