Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bengals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every board in the league had Fisher lower, and that gap is the story. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Adding Bijan Robinson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
