Draft Grade — Bengals

ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Majors fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Jake Majors sat on the board until the 152nd overall pick, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Frazier reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 49th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in pick 81 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in No. 117, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at pick No. 191 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
