Stutsman should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B-.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Danny Stutsman, the No. 87 name on the board, in pick 152. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy bit of business in pick 49, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at the 81st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at slot 117 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at pick No. 152. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 191st overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
