Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bengals never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Umanmielen to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every board in the league had Simon lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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