I mean we need both in a bad way - DE, LB
We don't get any pressure on opposing QB's the vast majority of the time and that factors in as well. But I fully agree we need more speed at LB.
In fact, this teams needs can't be addressed by the draft alone.
Here's the thing, I've not observed the Bengal DL get completely stonewalled very many times, but I've observed Safeties out of position, and LBs struggling to get to a spot more times than I care to remember.
I really feel like the problem with the Safeties is a coaching deficiency, but the LB problem is a lack of physical speed and athleticism.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
