Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Jarquez Hunter, 103 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on defensive back with cornerback and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That Muhammad III pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 17 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 26 they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in No. 49. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 AJ Barner
They talked themselves into AJ Barner at the 81st pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Mike Sainristil in pick No. 117 leaves cornerback and quarterback for later.
Pick140 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drake Nugent. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at Round 6, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
A wild overpay on Jarquez Hunter in slot 195, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A real head-scratcher, Eric Gentry in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They jumped the gun on Collin Oliver, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
