Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bengals took O'Donnell Fortune at the 152nd overall pick, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.

However the rest shakes out, Walker at that price is a win they earned. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick No. 63 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach No. 66 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in the 81st pick: Deone Walker for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to Round 4, Pick 16, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They reached a country mile for O'Donnell Fortune at pick 152, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
