I know the rumors are that they want to trade down in the 2nd to acquire more picks, but the failed LB signings are basically saying to the league that the Bengals will be looking at LBs in the 2nd round. I wouldn't be surprised if someone traded up a few spots back into the 1st round to take a LB expecting us to grab one.
I get that the tea leaves are lining up this way, but I'd caution planning around the 2nd being devoted to a LB. Not only for the leap factor you wisely mentioned, but the freedom to take BPA at a premium position.
They went hard after 2 LB's, so I assume they'll go into the draft with at least Vigil and a C level LB rather than bare. I'd like for them to end up with LB like Queen, but my draft plan wouldn't depend on it.
