The Cincinnati Bengals made six picks in the 2025 NFL draft, landing on very mixed reviews when it comes to draft grades.
Moving forward, one interesting way to gauge the draft class is steering away from outsider opinions and diving into some of the data the team actually looked at while making selections.
And one of the best overall resources for doing so is looking at the Relative Athletic Score (RAS), created by Kent Lee Platte. The metric combines details like prospect testing and size and compares it to historical data against a given position, with 10 being the highest possible score.
The Bengals started right out of the gates with a 10, too.
