The Bengals' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

However the rest shakes out, Thomas at that price is a win they earned. Every board in the league had Dunker lower, and that gap is the story.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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