Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Bengals let Ransom fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lathan Ransom, the 191st overall pick, roughly 90 picks past where he belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board had Malaki Starks higher than pick No. 34, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Fairchild at slot 65. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach pick 81 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 117th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Circle this one: Savion Williams at No. 152 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 6, Pick 16 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
