Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Barrett Carter, the No. 79 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 158th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Garett Bolles gives the group a proven body among the projects. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
