Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Cam Skattebo slide 86 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at No. 49 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at slot 95. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in pick No. 128, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in the 152nd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at the 164th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at pick No. 166 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 6, Pick 16 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
