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.
If Minter or Robinson are signed then there is a less of a need for drafting a linebacker in the first couple of rounds.
Rather go pass rusher or offense.
