One thing about Foster is that teams won't run the ball on us. He will quickly be our best run stuffing LB on the team. There is also Reddick. I would rather have Foster. I'm tired of watching good teams run the ball at will on us. We will never be a good team until we can stuff the run of teams like Patriots, Cowboys, Steelers. Marvin Lewis has never had linebackers here as good as the ones he had with Ravens. Our LBs stink compared to Super Bowl teams. Lets stop over rating Bengals LBs and fix the problem. Just because Pollack got injured and Thurman ruined his career and Rivers didn't work out does not mean you never ever again draft a top LB. ...........Now I could see taking a top D Lineman or the LSU RB at pick 9 also. There are no O Linemen worth a pick 9 and WR or TE or DB at 9 would just be a lousy pick for us. Here is the deal at CB. Kirkpatrick, Dennard and Jackson Bengals took in Round One. Now that's enough. I'm against this Sherman idea or drafting CB again. CB is NOT the only position on the field.No way a 229 pound lb becomes the best run stuffer. I think the Meitner signing was huge. I agree it has always been weak, but for the first time ever for me I actually have confidence in our lbs. I wouldn't mind adding a McMillan type in round 2 or a beckwith in 3, but don't think it's a need at 9. We disagree at wr. Cb I agree I would not love any of it unless lattimore falls. Dennard is in his final year and with his injuries and just sucking no way we pick up his option. I like our corners, especially Russell pickup, but they are unproven.
Agree with you on Sherman. He's 29 he's got max 1-2 elite years left.
