Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B

Grand theft in the 153rd pick: the Bengals steal Simon and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cody Simon, the No. 129 name on the board, stolen at No. 153. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 17 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They read the board right and Tate Ratledge was the payoff at the 81st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach pick 153 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant is a better player than the 193rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
