Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bengals never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The cost of the Freeling reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
