Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 15: the Bengals steal Skattebo and grade out a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 95 name on the board, stolen at the 152nd overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Adding Desmond King II by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They took Harold Fannin Jr. at par in the 49th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 117th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in No. 126, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick 152 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at Round 6, Pick 16 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
