Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Larceny in the 154th overall pick lands the Bengals a B, Henderson and all.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 55 name on the board, sitting there at the 154th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: tight end settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in slot 49 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in No. 81, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at pick No. 118 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to Round 5, Pick 15, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 195th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They read the board right and Connor Colby was the payoff at pick 198. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 199th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
