If I was given the choice between what I see to be a long-term sustainability pick (The CB, Jackson III) or a more win-now pick (Ogbah, the DE), I would support what the Bengals did. Every draft and team situation regarding pending free agency-eligible players will be different. Right now, they got an excellent talent at CB that not only gives them depth behind Dre Kirk should he exit via FA, but depth at a key position.
The DE might have made a solid impact coming in for MJ at RDE on passing downs, but the Bengals already have at least solid rotational players for the right side (Hunt, Clarke) and the contract status for Hunt could (hopefully) yield something out of a second round selection.
For me, the drop off at CB is too great. Not as much at RDE. Heck, the kid we drafted in the fourth round last year barely saw any action and I am excited to see what he can do rotating in on third downs.
So, for this year, I applaud sustainability. Last year, I wanted win-now with the receiver (Lockett) in Rd 2.
