Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Bengals steal Singleton and grade out a A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Nicholas Singleton, the No. 95 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 5, Pick 1. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They read the board right and Caleb Banks was the payoff at No. 43. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Austin Barber
Nice patience on Austin Barber, who had no business lasting to the 74th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 79th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They robbed the room for Darrell Jackson Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers slid further than he should have, and pick No. 97 is lovely value for the tight end. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Taking Keith Abney II in Round 4, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at slot 141. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
They paid up for Isaac Smith at slot 147 when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154 Rnd5 David Oke
David Oke in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Zane Durant slipping to Round 6, Pick 10 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dane Key
By-the-book stuff, Dane Key at pick 195 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Aamil Wagner in pick No. 201, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Circle this one: Josh Moten at the 223rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Somehow Miller Moss was still sitting there in No. 232, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena in the 247th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
