BEST DRAFT OF LINEBACKERS IN YEARS

BPA is fine and dandy as an ideal, but the Bengals have more pressing needs and you need to use common sense as well when discussing BPA. Ignoring those for a position that they've sunk a 3rd rounder into each of the last 3 years and 5 of the last 6 years is silly. 

Doubly so when the Bengals are pretty much never going to use 3 LBs at once. If you take every LB on the Bengals last year and add their snap count % all together, you get 208.4%. If you played 3 LBs all the time, you'd have 300%. So it's a position they've spent a 3rd rounder on in 3 straight drafts (and 5 out of 6) that they only need 2 players (and maybe a backup for that 8.4% of the time) for.

We've got Markus Bailey back full strength as well to see what they've got in him. If anything, I would prefer to sign a Kwon Alexander or another vet to give them someone older in the room they can lean on. Right now we've got a lot of youth there.

I don't understand the logic behind; we only play 2 LBs so we don't need a good one. Logan Wilson is a 3rd rd pick from a small school who had 33 tackles last year. Davis-Gathers is an undersized 4th RD pick from a small school who had 31 tackles last year. All of out LBs combined for 1.5 sacks last year. 

Gimme Davis if he falls to 38

Gimme Collins if he falls to 38

Gimme the Notre Dame kid

Gimme the LSU kid
