The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bengals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
