I'm right there with you on that.
I was sold on the superficial PFF grade of Battle - which was excelent for a rookie, but when listening to different Bengals beat writers discuss the S position, it became clear that there were things happening that PFF evaluators just cannot see, hear, or know to grade. He's a 2nd round S. Nothing wrong with him needing to develop.
VB being there is going to pay off. I haven't heard much about Stone so far in this offseason. No news is good news, I suppose.
If healthy, I think this Bengals team, and the direction of the roster makeup, could be an all timer.
