Draft Grade — Bengals

Grand theft in No. 191: the Bengals steal Skattebo and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick 191. Highway robbery.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 17 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick No. 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Somehow Tate Ratledge was still sitting there in the 81st pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to pick 117, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 191st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
