Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Stutsman: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Danny Stutsman got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at No. 154. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Walker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Interior defensive lineman 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 cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 17 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 49 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They liked Savion Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 17. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 118, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A conviction pick on Hayden Conner at the 195th pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
