Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 17 they get a seam-stretching tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick 49. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 81st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Circle this one: Denzel Burke at pick No. 117 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 152nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at slot 191 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
