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.
In all fairness, that rule needs to have parenthesis with it. The only time you don't draft BPA is if you have a young QB. Only 1 QB plays at a time, so theres really no need.
But every other position has multiple guys that play. I always advocate for BPA, and using FA to make sure you have a decent starter at every position.
