Larceny in slot 49 lands the Bengals a B, Emmanwori and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nick Emmanwori had no business being available in No. 49, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

With tight end, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They are betting Baron proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson

In the 17th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori

The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.

Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker

No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the 81st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.

The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at tight end, wide receiver and other spots sat open.

Pick153 Rnd5 Tyler Baron

A reach for Tyler Baron in pick 153; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
