Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Milum. Final grade: B.

Somebody in the 193rd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 17 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at slot 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Armand Membou
They robbed the room for Armand Membou here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 119th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 15 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
