A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Bengals never got to the one that mattered most.

They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
