Grand theft in the 191st pick: the Bengals steal Stutsman and grade out a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 86 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 6 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
They read the board right and Ashton Jeanty was the payoff at No. 17. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 81 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra is a better player than the 117th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach slot 152 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191
Rnd6
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 191st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
