Draft Grade — Bengals

Grand theft in pick 188: the Bengals steal Majors and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Jake Majors slide 93 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 13 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 44th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 116th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to Round 5, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach No. 188 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
