For all the boxes ticked, the Bengals skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

If Zabel pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
