I don't see why the Bengals would go for a premium pick at LB. The way they use them is not traditional.
The Bengals play a lot of 5-2 and 4-2-5 Nickel.
Two LBs on the field at once doesn't leave any need for a high draft pick at the spot. plus, they don't use their LBs to create a lot of splash plays like a 3-4 team would where a lot of sacks are going to be generated.
Burfict, Minter, Vigil, Rey will be the LBs on the field I bet 90%+ of the time. Then throw in weird packages where maybe they have a pass rush specialist or something. There's just nothing for Foster to do in the Bengals defense based on personnel they have and how they use LBs. he wouldn't play for a loing time. He's not some unreal talent. he's a very very good LB, but nothing unique that the Bengals don't have. I don't see where he fits on the team.
