The Bengals let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick 191. Highway robbery.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick55
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 55th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick No. 81 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A quiet steal in pick 117: Luke Kandra for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 179 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 191st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
