Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but David Walker at slot 81 is 84 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Getting Henderson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 24th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They took Xavier Watts at par in the 49th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They reached into another round for Rylie Mills, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in Round 5, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 152nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A wild overpay on Clay Webb in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
