Linderbaum is a good fit if Bengals stick with what they ran last year, but he's not if they go a different route.
So I'd go Johnson especially if Bengals really are set on Karras as the C for the next few years.

Linderbaum is fool's gold, imo.  You're hamstringing the team a lot by taking him.  You lock yourself into one run blocking scheme as long as he's on the team.  As has been pointed out before, a short armed C really handicaps your other 4 OL.  The G's have to line up relative to the C and the T's relative to the G's, so when the C has to line up closer to the ball, everyone else has to move up closer to the LoS.

If all three are there at 31 and you're not comfortable with Carman, what are the odds one falls to 63?
