You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bengals took Erick All at the 151st overall pick, roughly 64 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jefferson. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
