Why Does Everyone Want A LB Early?! WASTED PICK!

[*ochocincos*]

Everyone talking about how they want a fast, athletic LB but...

Jordan Evans recorded a 4.5 40 time at his pro day, which would have been 2nd-fastest time for LBs in 2016 Combine (Yes, I know that typically Pro Day 40 times are about 0.1 faster than Combine). He also was very good in coverage in college. He is the definition of an athletic LB.

And I know it was back in 2010, but Vinny Rey had a 4.54 time and was also touted for his athleticism and speed.

I'm favor of getting another LB and especially one that's athletic and fast but people saying the Bengals have "no" athletic, fast LBs are wrong. And just being fast and athletic doesn't mean you'll be a great LB, especially against the run.

The biggest problem with Rey, Evans, and Vigil are they are being put at the wrong LB spot. All are more ideal WILL LBs. Their worst spot is at SAM. They can be decent MIKEs but struggle some in defending the run because they can't get off blocks very well.
