Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in pick 191 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 23rd pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Good price on Marcus Mbow in No. 54, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at the 81st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at pick 117 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
