Listen @bengals I am BEGGING YOU.
Make the white Bengal game also a stripe the jungle game.
The stands in Paycor striped in white and black would hit so hard with the whiteout field.
13) Cincinnati Bengals
A rejuvenating offseason in Cincinnati.
Without a first round pick, the Bengals still got a top pass rusher at 41.
They accepted risk in the 3rd & 4th, but Connor Lew could easily outplay that score once healthy.
LOVED the late round picks.
GRADE: B-
The Bengals are currently 8th in cash spending according to OTC, which is very high for them!
They are first in active cap liabilities (aka spending), which is what Duke Tobin is referring to here and often refers to as payroll
๐จ 2026 NFL Draft Team Grades
In my annual draft grades round-up, I have compiled 24 different evaluations and calculated the GPA for all 32 teams.
I sorted the evaluations by GPA as well. From left (soft) to right (hard graders).
Thanks to all who give out grades every year! ๐ฅ
The consensus board is sort of like the law. Itโs very reasonable and normal to be breaking it every once in a awhile, but when you do it over and over itโs probably bad.
@Andrew_Russell7 i agree. i think CB should be the favorite
i would also add that it seems like want either a big fish or no fish at the position so would they really take another 2nd round LB considering they drafted 2 guys who they had with 2nd round grades at last year?

Happy Draft Day to all. I've finally decided how to rank this class.
It's not last year's historic group, but don't let that sour you on the possibilities. There is a ton of talent in this class.
