Liking what they've done but still hoping they make a few smaller moves to solidify depth and assume they'll look soon at extending some of their own players.  Not a ton of cap space left but appears to still be room if they want to use it.  Hoping for:

1) A veteran offensive tackle that can play LT and RT behind Williams and Collins.  Am worried that an injury leads to Adeniji or Prince trying to protect Burrow again.  Anticipated improvements from Hill and Carman would help but still would feel better with a veteran OT for depth on the roster
2) WR 4 (an experienced WR that immediately slots in above guys like Thomas/Taylor/Irwin)
3) Veteran pass rusher (a rotational guy behind Sam and Trey)

And no long term deals for this added depth (1 year contracts so no long term impact on Bengals retaining their core players)

Other roster moves?
DB's added via the draft - does that impact Brandon Wilson/will they use his cap room elsewhere?

I don't see them adding any other offensive linemen as they have guys backing up every spot with NFL experience.  A WR would be intriguing if the right person was released.  No to a veteran pass rusher as well as they have Sample, Ossai, and Kareem...all young and with NFL experience (not Ossai, but he has the most upside and athletic potential.  

If I had to guess, they didn't reach on any CBs because they have their eye on a veteran that they can pick up.  They might have to make some room with the finances, but that could be easily accomplished with restructures for the likes of Hubbard or Mixon.
