I really like the Bengals at LB.
They typically only play with 2 LBs on the field at once as they go Nickel or 5-2 most of the time.
Most NFL teams run a 3-4 where the LBs get a lot of the glory. The Bengals LBs are there for dirty work.
Burfict & Minter will probably play most downs.
Vigil would be the 3rd guy.
With Rey, Flowers, and (WTF is up with this guy???) Dawson all being capable of backing up and teams play.
With the above group, I don't see where a LB as a high pick fits in.
I like the idea of the Peppers kid OR, if they wanted to add a Safety like Jamal Adams? But, frankly, with the 4 S on the team now, they are under contracts or relatively young. Adams talent and character are just through the roof and some sites have him rated as the #2 pick talent wise behind Garrett in the entire draft. Tough to pass on him if he falls.
