Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

There is reaching, and then there is Phillip Webb at No. 154. The Bengals jumped the board by 148 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Stutsman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

The Mukuba pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, tight end and other spots. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at the 49th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at slot 81 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A tidy little value on Tez Johnson in No. 97, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with cornerback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick154 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Phillip Webb well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 161st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the 195th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
