I doubt the Bengals draft him if he's there.  LB is not a priority for them, Edge rusher is.  With the injury they wouldn't take him if they had considered it.

I'd be very happy with him at 9 though.   The guy is a really good LB.  He diagnoses well, penetrates instantly, sheds and hits like a tank.  He's one of those guys that is an impact player.   That's what I want at nine. 

What I don't want is a questionable edge rusher who never impacts.  We've drafted a lot of DEs in the first that did not impact.  There are enough players in the top 10 who will impact.  I don't care if it's a RB, WR, DE, S or LB.  Just get a bona fide impact player and don't diddle with a player with "upside"
