Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Emmanwori: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 18 name on the board, stolen at slot 49. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in No. 81: Deone Walker for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors slid further than he should have, and pick 118 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
