Good, not great, for the Bengals: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Bengals skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
