The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Henderson: B+. When a board-topper like TreVeyon Henderson slides to Round 4, Pick 25, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Jordan Davis by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 25 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick49
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at slot 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Value with a capital V on Tyleik Williams in pick No. 62, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the 118th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to Round 4, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 152nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Eli Stowers
They barely believed it either: Eli Stowers still on the board at pick 192. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
