Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+

Larceny in slot 117 lands the Bengals a B+, Helm and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Gunnar Helm, the No. 67 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 16. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

If Hemingway pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 17th overall pick they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 49th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at pick 117 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 152 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
