Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Rylie Mills. He came off 53 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
