A mixed bag for the Bengals, and a C to match.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Donovan Jackson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Donovan Jackson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Donovan Jackson
A big swing on Donovan Jackson at slot 17, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
