NATIxDemon DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

Draft Grade — Bengals

The Bengals let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Savion Williams, the No. 98 name on the board, in the Round 5 slot.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Conner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick 17 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 49th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 81. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Good price on Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154
Rnd5
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Conner well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
