Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Cam Skattebo slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 17 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Watts in the 49th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
They robbed the room for Aireontae Ersery here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
Taking Jordan Burch in pick No. 118 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at No. 154 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A slide stopped in the 195th pick, with Dont'e Thornton Jr. worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
