Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Mullings: A-.

Call it larceny. Kalel Mullings sat on the board until No. 191, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, with Mason Graham leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 24th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 49 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 81st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Charles Grant graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Nice patience on Luke Kandra, who had no business lasting to slot 117. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 152 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
They robbed the room for Kalel Mullings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
