Minter is signed for 1 yr., and LB has been the weak spot on the Bengals  for many seasons now. Its always been some aging veteran, or UFA that they try to fill the LB corps with. Its about time they addressed it in the draft. Foster can rotate and learn from Minter and Burfict for a year. He then gives us leverage next season when Minter's (and Burfict's) contracts are up.

Foster is the BPA if Thomas is gone.

I don't think he is the best LB.  He has a shoulder issue, he leads with his head and he weighs 225.  Pass.
