Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals clearly saw something nobody else did in Gabe Jacas, taking him 151 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

On value alone, Skattebo makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 16 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in No. 47, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 81st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Gabe Jacas
They reached a country mile for Gabe Jacas at Round 4, Pick 16, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at pick No. 151 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 192 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
