Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
Taylor should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Mason Taylor, the No. 102 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 30. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will need Hudson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 13 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in the 168th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the 170th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
