Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bengals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The Ladd McConkey deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
