This.
Vinny Rey is a smart veteran, but lacks elite athleticism. Jordan Evans has elite athleticism but doesn't have the head for the game yet.
Nothing else really impresses me right now.
FYI Bengals only used 3 LBs on 30% of defensive snaps last year (18th in league. about average). We used a nickel package (5 DBs) more than all but 3 other teams in the league. I don't see that changing a lot, but I think we might see more 3 safety instead of 3 CB. In fact teams like the Pats, Chiefs, Packers, and Chargers are using a lot of 3CB, 3 Saf as a major part of their "base" scheme. League wide teams on;y use 4 DBs about 33% of the time. Now teams are looking more and more at a safety/hybrid type player too keep on the field all the time.
