Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 154 lands the Bengals a B, Skattebo and all.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into the 154th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren is a better player than pick No. 25 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and pick 49 is lovely value for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 58th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 81st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 118 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in No. 154 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 17 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
