Call it larceny. Jeffrey Bassa sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 28, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. With cornerback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

The cost of the Ratledge reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
