That's from your perspective. Yours or my opinion on weaknesses or how to get the team better don't mean diddly to the Bengals coaching staff.
I think they know their team better than us fans?
The run is stopped from inside out. And CB is a more important position (and costlier) than either LB or OG.
So, I can't fault the Bengals for getting two younger proven Defenders and paying them some big bucks at key positions on the Defense.
And, according to sources, they tried for DT, CB, and LB with Schobert.
So, they were in line with your LB need. I wanted them to get Schobert as well; but,
I'm glad they didn't overspend for a LB.
I'd rather them overspend on the Def Line (See Niners SB Team) and CB, the richest position besides QB.
Lastly, it seems like MB actually had a Plan???!!! Their plan was to pay big on Defensive FA's to get the Defense better. And, then drafting offensive players in the draft with more offensive talent in this draft. That's where they'll land another OG or OT.
