Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Larceny in the 153rd overall pick lands the Bengals a B, Simon and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cody Simon slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick No. 153. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Sanders reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 17th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 55 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good price on Mason Taylor in pick No. 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 119 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 153rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Nice patience on Clay Webb, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at slot 255 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
