There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Carson Steele a full 76 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Fashanu where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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