Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in No. 191 lands the Bengals a A-, Majors and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Jake Majors slide 98 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 25, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the 117th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at the 152nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach slot 191 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
