Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

Nobody had Jack Kiser this high, and it is not close. The Bengals reached 29 spots to get him at pick 153.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Sawyer value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Emmanwori at the 17th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Value with a capital V on Jack Sawyer in pick 49, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 81st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Cam Skattebo graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 153 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid a round early for Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 193, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
