Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Bryce Foster at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 42 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Banks makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 10 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick No. 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A tidy little value on A.J. Harris in Round 3, Pick 10, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick 109 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 189th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
They jumped the gun on Roderick Kearney, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
