Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Stutsman: B.

Call it larceny. Danny Stutsman sat on the board until slot 192, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 17 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in pick 81, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra is a better player than the 118th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 192 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
