Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Cam Skattebo slide 99 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Every board in the league had Gordon II lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In No. 24 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at slot 55. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 81st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in the 97th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 117 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A big swing on Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 138, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in Round 5, Pick 15 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to the 191st overall pick, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
