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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Omarr Norman-Lott, the No. 73 name on the board, stolen at slot 117. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 17 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at pick 81 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board fumbled Omarr Norman-Lott all the way to slot 117, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the 191st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
