I love Wilson the way he plays, he is solid. But that is the thing, he is just solid. So not as exciting as a guy like Bailey or ADG
who are playmakers. ADG is a bit small so I think he will need to add weight to tackle bigger backs and TE's. If Bailey is healthy
he is who I am most excited about cause he can change games. Watching the tape of him at Purdue you would think he would 
be a top Draft pick, with the injury you understand him falling but not all the way to the 7th.

Think Markus Bailey could be our biggest steal in a long time if he can stay healthy.

In the end I am excited to see all of them, Wilson was just a great pick that should solidify our LB core for years to come. He is
disciplined, instinctive, a great tackler and can cover. Rare all around solid Linebacker. But Bailey could be the steal.

Haha, yep.  Sorry, Nate.  Couldn't remember his name and googled.  When I saw "Iowa State FA signed by Bengals...".  I guess we signed two.  It is Spears.  

When I made this thread I was originally thinking people could say Wilson, ADG, Bailey, and some freak (usually me) would say Spears, the FA that no one else knows.  That is a serious infusion of talent and speed at the LB position. We seem to never talk about Pratt, who made significant improvements and contributions as a rookie.  Especially after they released Brown.  Think about it:  Pratt looked good at LB down the stretch with Vigil and Williams as his other LBs.  

I can't help but think how much better the offensive line will be with Williams.  How much better the WR group is with AJ Green.  How much better the defensive line will be with Reader.  There is a lot to like about this team right now, and the LB corps is one of the most exciting position groups right now.  Can't believe I said that about the Bengals
