Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Stutsman from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Danny Stutsman sat on the board until pick 154, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
They paid sticker price for Mike Green in the 17th overall pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 17, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the 81st pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach pick No. 195 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
