Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Skattebo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until the 192nd pick, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

The Pegues pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A clean, defensible pick in No. 49 with a little surplus value in Tyler Warren. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach slot 81 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Patrick Bryant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Bryant. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at pick 152, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the 192nd pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
