Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bengals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most.

The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at pick 17 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 49th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 81 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Skattebo at the 118th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans slipping to Round 5, Pick 15 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Parr
No edge and no loss on Logan Parr in pick No. 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
