Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 154 lands the Bengals a B-, Ransom and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lathan Ransom, the Round 5 slot, roughly 45 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 49th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in pick No. 81. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at No. 118 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach slot 154 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
