Sure LB is a huge weakness but realistically it would be impossible for the Bengals to fill all there needs in one offseason. This rebuild will probably take 2 seasons which was significantly speed up by being aggressive in free agency. I rather pay for a guy like Reader who is one of the best at his position then overpay for a guy like Schobert. Feel like it’s just as important to dominate the D-line and lock it up on the outside. Even at pick 33 don’t reach for a linebacker take the best player available. I think with LB needy teams like the Raiders, Jaguars and Dolphins signing free agent linebackers along with a possible run on WR’s and Cb’s in round one there’s a chance Queen or Murray could fall to pick 33. Plus Zack Baun is also an interesting prospect if this team wants to keep going with a hybrid defense.
Great post, you're not the lone Bengal on those thoughts!
