Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Bengals let Stutsman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in pick 152 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Danny Stutsman, the No. 90 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Norman-Lott lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 25 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at No. 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 58th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They did well to land Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in Round 4, Pick 16, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 152 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A reach on Ollie Gordon II in the 165th pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
