The moves came on the heels of the Bengals not addressing the needy pass-rush outside of the first round and ignoring the interior of the defensive line completely over the course of their six picks during the draft.
Both Gregory and Cross had draftable grades at most outlets, while the latter also had the chance to work with Bengals coordinator Al Golden at Notre Dame.
To cap it all off, the Bengals also landed the top-rated undrafted free agent shortly after those two reports went live.
