They can't stop the run, which was an even bigger problem. Plus, most of the athletic guys are WILLs, which this team has plenty of. Last, Jim O. said in his sub-forum that he expects the Bengals to look in the mid-rounds for a LB, which those LBs usually have flaws. I think you're underrating Jewell a bit based on his Combine performance. Dude has 6 INTs, 26 PBUs, 3 FFs, 9 sacks, and nearly 400 tackles from 2015-2017. You don't get that by being unathletic.
u know fast athletic linebackers who can stop the run exist....just not in the damn late rounds which is where we keep grabbing linebackers. Nothing but backups and special teamers. edmunds can do both. raquon smith can do both. Rahsaan evans at 6'3 240 can do both but u have us waiting til the what 5th for mccray. one dementional at that point in the draft dude. u wanna stop the run...gotta invest at the linebacker spot.
