Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Majors: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Majors got past him. The Bengals do not have to explain a thing at the Round 4 slot.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In No. 17 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jihaad Campbell in the 49th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 117 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
