Dt DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Brooks: B-. The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tahj Brooks fell into the 191st pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick No. 17 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A tidy bit of business in slot 49, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the 81st overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at Round 4, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
