Draft Grade — Bengals

Larceny in slot 219 lands the Bengals a B, Higgins and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 122 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 3.

They are betting Wilson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 49th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at the 117th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at No. 153 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Value said wait; Jared Wilson in pick 191 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
