Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 191st overall pick lands the Bengals a B, Simon and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Cody Simon, the No. 120 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 6 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
No edge and no loss on Xavier Watts in the 49th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 117 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
No drama and no debate, Jaeden Roberts went about where he belonged in slot 152. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to pick No. 191, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
