My point is, there are plenty of good prospects at LB in the first 3 rounds for the Bengals. This may not be the best year for LB depth but it is far better than last year.
You posted a PFF article in which their 2nd best LB prospect is ranked 42nd overall and actually projects to an edge defender and a Bleacher Report article that doesn't even rank LB's in the top half of position groups in the draft. That's hardly deep. Frankly, I find the BR article hard to take seriously when they have QB as their #1 position group ahead of what's supposed to be a generational type WR draft.
Aside from Simmons and Murray, there are no clean prospects for stack LB's like the Bengals need on day 1 or 2. Baun is a 3-4 OLB/Edge. Queen has less than a season as a starter. Dye has medicals. Davis-Gaither is a small school prospect with medicals.
