I think the Bengals have learned their lesson and are looking at success on tape with LBs.
They cannot look for just athleticism or taking a Project and moving them in different spots.
They were one of the worst tackling teams in football. Hence, the reason for the players they signed in FA.
Let's keep it up in the draft!
Even though Weaver didn't run very well at 4.8 at the combine, his tape shows much different.
When you lead CF in tackles, you can't be slow to the ball.
He may run a 4.8, but his instincts help him play like a 4.6 or 4.5 player.
Yes, we shouldn't have him out a lot on 3rd downs if we've got Shawn Williams and Pratt or probably another LB; but, he's definitely the 1st and 2nd down LB they need who just makes tackle after tackle after tackle.
He's got a big chip on his shoulder and I hope he's available to them in the 4th round still.
