Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Akheem Mesidor, 145 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

On value alone, Majors makes the weekend a net positive. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They read the board right and Mason Graham was the payoff at Round 1, Pick 17. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good price on Xavier Watts in No. 49, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
By-the-book stuff, Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 81 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach pick 117 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at the 152nd overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick191 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
