There are some fast DB's with the size of a LB that could help in the nickle D we will be in 80 % of the time. Plus there is good talent on the board of them about ready to be drafted. Bates and Williams but we don't have a Polamalu or Fulcher back there. We don't have a stud that is all over the field sideline to sideline, end zone to end zone. People need to accept that in order to improve the D, we have to accept last years players had many problems. There is room for improvement on D from front to back. Bengals lack speed on D, they are too slow. You can coach up everything but speed. I hope they draft more speed on D.
LMAO ur right we dont have a once in a decade hall of famer like polumolu at safety lol but we do have two solid if not good safeties. I mean Bates was a defensive rookie candidate and Shawn williams had 5 picks last year and a thumper in the box. If you think drafting depth at safety is a bigger need than linebacker where we have noone u need to share with everyone what you smoking. Our starting 5 defensive backs are more than competent and imo are actaully really good especially if dennard continues to progress and william jackson gets back to top corner in the league form. We need a stud linebacker and imo there are 2 left in pratt and wilson. gotta pull the trigger on one of those two here at 42.
