Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 15: the Bengals steal Henderson and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: TreVeyon Henderson, pick No. 152, roughly 97 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 49th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The board had Deone Walker higher than pick No. 81, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at Round 4, Pick 16. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to the 152nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in slot 191 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
