Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 16, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 17 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach Round 2, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in pick 81, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in the 117th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 191st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
