Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bengals did not so much draft Tommy Mellott as overpay for him, 101 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mukuba. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: tight end settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 49 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 56th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick 81. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 117 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 129th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to Round 5, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Good price on Seth McLaughlin in pick 217, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the 220th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
They reached into another round for Tommy Mellott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
