For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bengals walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Every board in the league had Zabel lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
