Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Bengals walked right past. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Skattebo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: tight end settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mykel Williams. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy little value on Xavier Watts in pick No. 49, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 81st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at slot 119. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans slipping to pick 153 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Cooper at No. 193, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
