Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Danny Stutsman got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at pick 152. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. 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 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to the 81st pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at pick 117 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach the 152nd overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
