His "red flags" were academic cheating (along with 10 teammates and not exactly an issue for a pro), and oh yeah, that little bitty fight with his QB. Face it, you gotta be a little bit psycho to play LB in the NFL.
Course I would rather have more of a sure thing at LB than him and Woodward, but if you don't get an LB early, you take what you can. If we hit on one of them, I'm happy.
Maybe you see something that I don’t-I’m not a pro talent evaluator, but I have seen plenty of tape where he struggles to get to the sidelines to make plays on outside runs, and that’s what the bengals are looking for. Coupled with red flags and Taylor’s preference of good character.
Honestly, I believe that the bengals are hoping that Queen is there at 33 if they really want an early lber, otherwise I think they are going offense the 2nd day, then find some talented multipositional defensive players with a lb with good coverage skills and teach them the rest. There’s a guy from Purdue who potentially fits that bill.
