By "realistic" mock, what exactly did you mean? Did you mean that this is exactly what you think the Bengals will do? Or, is this what you would do?
Either way, waiting until the 4th and 5th rounds to draft LBs just does not seem to pan out. The top LBs are typically found at the top of the draft. Don't believe me? Just look up the NFL All-Pro team, and look at the draft position of each one of them.
Furthermore, this defense already has good to very good DEs. Spending the top pick on Chase Young isn't going to magically fix anything. The defense needs a stud LB. A defense that can't stop the run consistently, will never force teams into "pass only" situations, in order for a pick like Chase Young to pay early and great dividends.
Sorry for coming off crass, but not sorry for telling the truth.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
