The Man can flat out Tackle, and Bengals can't Tackle.  They need a LB that can Tackle and a GRINDER who busts his butt every play.

They can COACH UP his pass coverage, which is not that bad.  The man broke up some passes. 

Coach Up THE GRINDER who busts his butt every play making Tackles after Tackle, Sideline to Sideline. 

You will want this MACHINE in there on 3rd down.  He is a BIG PLAY Maker on 3rd Down and 4th Down.

Brooks literally had 0 PBUs in 2019.
Only 1 in 2018.
Only 2 INTs in 4 years.

While he has chasing speed, he doesn't have good agility to cover in space, which is becoming more and more important.
He is a good tackler and displays good instincts when going after the ball carrier though.

Can you recall a LB coached by the Bengals in the past decade who was bad/raw in coverage that they have been able to coach into being good in coverage?
I can't.

I can understand Brooks being selected, but not until Rd 3 at the earliest IMO.
