They have six LB spots. Burfict, Vigil, and VRey are guaranteed.
The other three right now are Maualuga, Flowers, and Dawson.
The Bengals likely will draft one LB that will compete to replace one of the latter three on the roster.
If a veteran is signed, I think Maualuga is cut and then a single rookie draft pick will compete with Flowers and Dawson. The best two get roster spots.
Your argument is dead on, but I STILL think they will. One in a fairly early round and one later. They have to either finally get something out of Flowers and Dawson and Maualuga is old and slow. Time to start turning the roster of the guys that never had it and never will.
