Tuesday Trenches: Draft grade and best guess at the 53-man roster

That was a fun one. The Cincinnati Bengals walked away from the 2024 NFL Draft with 10 fresh faces, eager to attempt to make their mark on what is hopefully a Super Bowl-winning season.

I’ve seen a lot of grades, and most of them are positive. They’ve ranged from A- to B-, and I’ve seen a few C’s sprinkled in there as well. Grades are largely pointless. We have no clue which teams hit a home run and which ones didn’t. If Michael Penix Jr. wins a Super Bowl for the Falcons when he gets his first chance to start in 2028, I’m sure their 2024 draft grade will rise.
