Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Grand theft in pick 191: the Bengals steal Simon and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cody Simon had no business being available in the 191st pick, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Henderson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Bengals paired the rookies with proven help, Kyle Pitts leading the way.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 TreVeyon Henderson
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a workhorse for the backfield, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker is a better player than slot 49 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 117th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in pick 131, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
