Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Barryn Sorrell, 53 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Savaiinaea makes the weekend a net positive. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

With tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 17 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Circle this one: Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 49 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Barryn Sorrell while clear needs at tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick153 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in Round 5, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Nice patience on Jack Kiser, who had no business lasting to the 193rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
