Priorities are a choice, and the Bengals made a strange one, taking Dani Dennis-Sutton at edge rusher in the Round 2 slot with tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dennis-Sutton. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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