Grand theft in pick 154: the Bengals steal Judkins and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Quinshon Judkins slides to pick No. 154, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Conner lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at pick No. 17 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 49th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 81 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Deone Walker
The board fumbled Deone Walker all the way to the 118th pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
