I understand that the three starting LBs are likely Burfict, Rey, and Vigil. I expect Reddick to be a backup LB as a rookie that can be a situational pass rusher.
Burfict could hit FA after this year and Vincent Rey the year after. So given the Bengals like to take 1-2 years to groom draft picks anyway, this could make sense.
As others have said, Reddick might become a better LB than Foster and provides something Foster really doesn't, which is pass rush. He's also bigger than Foster, and doesn't seem to have the "Don't you know who I am?" attitude.
It's possible. I just don't see the Bengals using #9 on a backup/developmental player.
