Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals let Castro fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Sebastian Castro sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 23, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Jordan Davis gives the group a proven body among the projects. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at No. 25 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 64th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 81, where Cameron Williams graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
No drama and no debate, Ashton Gillotte went about where he belonged in slot 89. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at the 125th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They paid sticker price for Luke Kandra in Round 5, Pick 15, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at slot 166 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in No. 181; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Nothing to complain about; Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
