Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a B+.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Jaylen Reed, 33 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. On value alone, Simon makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and Round 1, Pick 30 is lovely value for the tight end. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in the 81st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 109 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They let Zy Alexander come to them and pounced at the 119th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Ty Robinson at pick 153, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 157 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hollin Pierce in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 161 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Upton Stout
A premium they did not need to pay, Upton Stout a notch or two before his time. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick193 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Vernon Broughton in the 193rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kyle Monangai at Round 7, Pick 19. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
