Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: A-.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Tyler Batty, 60 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tyler Warren and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 42 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the 49th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
You do not let a cornerback like Benjamin Morrison reach pick No. 74 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board had Donovan Ezeiruaku higher than the Round 3 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than the 81st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in slot 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 119th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 5, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in slot 153, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in No. 166 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
