Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bengals never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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