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. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Reaching for Stogner left real value on the table behind him. Getting Hicks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
