Time to rank Rey, Vontaze, and Karlos (I didn’t list Vigil as it would be unfair to the rest of the league) :

TE: 6-12 (only 2 votes below 12th)
OT: 7-13 (90% of the votes had them in the top 13)
OG: 6-10 (only 4 votes below top 10)

RE: Rank the LBs - 3wt - 07-07-2016
Last year I had us above average. With Dansby I think we push into the top 10 this year
RE: Rank the LBs - SunsetBengal - 07-07-2016
Awe hell, I forgot about Dansby. I voted average or above, but I may put them around the top 10.
RE: Rank the LBs - jason - 07-07-2016
If he has anything left, Dansby makes them average. Last year it was Burfict making plays, and a couple of guys running around.
RE: Rank the LBs - Mike M (the other one) - 07-07-2016
I think Dansby played light snaps last year once the season was lost.
He'll be fresh and ready to go.
I put us right inside the top 5.
RE: Rank the LBs - jeremydc - 07-08-2016
11-16. Burflict out the first quarter of the season.
Relying on a 35+ LB and other below average LBs will be interesting.
I hope our front four can get consistent pressure and contain the QB.

Nick Vigil accepts your apology.

Hope he proves me wrong.
RE: Rank the LBs - Thundercloud - 07-08-2016
Middle of the pack. We need to start spending higher draft choices on linebackers. Hope Vigil turns out to be the find that coaches think he is, and that Burfict comes back strong, and plays a little smarter. Those two things plus Dansby could elevate us several notches.
RE: Rank the LBs - Jpoore - 07-08-2016
We have 2 or 3 lbs drafted in the third round or above who don't even start I would rank us inside top 5 plus just a bonus vigil is gonna be a way more athletic vinny Rey that's a scary thought

Really? Top 5 based on unproven players?
The Kool-Aid is strong in this one.

No I was just saying that about the comment of we need to draft higher I rank us in the top 5 for our starters
RE: Rank the LBs - bfine32 - 07-08-2016
This one is hard for me and became increasingly so as I composed the list. There are a lot of big names without a lot of stats and a lot of no names with big numbers. For instance if a member of another board's forum were doing this and came to the Bengals he might list Vincent Rey as the starter over Rey Maualuga and then the Bengals top three would have a combination of 280 tackles, 2 sacks, 5 INTs, and 4 FFs.
I would ask we don't knock the collective because of VB's suspension; as I doubt anyone downgraded Brady because of his. So we have the best WILL in the game, a veteran SAM that can get after the QB and cover the TE, and a MIKE that is a force in the run game. Giving all other teams the benefit of the doubt. I will put them top 10
