Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Majors: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Majors got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the 150th overall pick.

They will need Bech to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Adding CJ Henderson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Nothing to complain about; Abdul Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 44th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mello Dotson
A big swing on Mello Dotson at pick No. 78, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 85th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jack Bech
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Bech. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
No edge and no loss on Miles Frazier in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
