Larceny in slot 195 lands the Bengals a B, Noel and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylin Noel slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 195th pick. Highway robbery.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 17 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in Round 2, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They let Cam Skattebo come to them and pounced at the 118th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 154th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 195 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
