Holwadel9 DRAFTING FOR THEBengals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall
B

TradesB-
FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Stutsman: B. The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Danny Stutsman, the No. 87 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 17.
The Riley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 17, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in pick No. 81; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 119th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
No edge and no loss on Tahj Brooks in No. 193; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
