Again, not sure why we traded up?

I would expect that this year, here's the depth chart:
FS - Bates, Hill (also backup slot CB)
SS - Bell, Anderson
CB - Awuzie, Hilton, Apple, CTB (could be starter over Apple), Flowers, Davis

Bengals seem to want to make sure to get their guys and could feel they pick so late in the rounds that their guy could not be there.
Therefore, they trade up to get them.
