Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Knight Jr.: B-.

Call it larceny. Demetrius Knight Jr. sat on the board until pick No. 118, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: tight end settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 17th pick they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at pick No. 49 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 81st overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 118 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Nice patience on Oronde Gadsden II, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 195 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
