Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Stutsman: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Danny Stutsman had no business being available in the 118th overall pick, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Gordon II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
They took Mike Green at par in No. 17, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nice patience on Tyler Booker, who had no business lasting to pick No. 49. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 81st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 118th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They went early on Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 20, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
