Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Henderson: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 58 name on the board, stolen at the 117th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 17 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Circle this one: Luther Burden III at the 49th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Taking Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 117 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 5, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Gray in slot 191, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
