For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bengals walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Tiernan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That Downs pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

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