Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Ransom from sliding. Grade: D.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lathan Ransom got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the 195th overall pick. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 17th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Nice patience on Walter Nolen, who had no business lasting to slot 29. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 3, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They did well to land Luke Kandra in the 118th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at pick 152 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 154 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to pick No. 195, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
