Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Savion Williams slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 118th overall pick. Highway robbery.

If Gordon II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The board had Deone Walker higher than slot 81, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in Round 4, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at No. 154 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues slipping to pick No. 195 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
