Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bengals won the night they stopped Majors from sliding. Grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Majors slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 148th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 42nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick No. 54 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 85 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 112th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in pick 148, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eli Stowers at the 171st overall pick is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in the 185th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
