How do we continue to whiff on guys in the draft and free agency?

Nick Vigil
Karlos Dansby
Kevin Minter
Rey Malaluga (he had a couple decent years)
Jayson Dimanche
Marquis Flowers
Emmanual Lamur
Vinny Ray
Manny Lawson
Brandon Johnson
Dan Skuta
Keith Rivers
Thomas Howard
Rodrick Muckelroy
Rashad Jeanty


In 10 years I can honestly say that Dhani Jones and Vontez are the only respectably GOOD linebackers that the Bengals have had. Linebacker shouldnt be that hard of a position to constantly screw up on. I want some butts!

I think it is harder to find great 3 down LBers in a 4-3 scheme. The 3-4 inside backers seem to be a lot easier to reload and find as they split the field in a 4 area zone versus ours at 3 area zone, it means 4-3 linebackers need to be more athletic so harder to find.
