Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

The Bengals robbed the room for Starks. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malaki Starks got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at slot 49. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Cornelius pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer

In pick No. 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all.

Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks

They will replay Malaki Starks at No. 49 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick81 Rnd3 Charles Grant

Charles Grant in slot 81 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo

They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Restrepo in pick 119. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.

Pick153 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius

Ajani Cornelius at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick193 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
