I wouldn't get your hopes up. If there's one thing that free agency is telling me (and the previous drafts) is that the Bengals value linebackers very little.
Think about it - our starters are a 3rd round pick, an undrafted free agent and our backups are a bunch of guys that have been drafted later in the draft to fill specific roles (coverage etc.)
With our base being a nickel, I'm guessing the Bengals are hoping they can sign Minter or Robinson on the cheap and then draft a few guys in the 5--7 rounds.
