Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bengals let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until slot 212, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than the Round 2 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at Round 3, Pick 17. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in No. 118, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in the 137th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at slot 154 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 195th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 212 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
