2020 NFL draft: Best Bengals option at linebacker for each round

Here’s a look at a good linebacker fit in each round.

Round 3: Troy Dye, Oregon

Waiting until the third round to address linebacker is likely playing with fire.

But Troy Dye isn’t a bad consolation prize. He’s a 6’4″, 225-pound presence with four years of starting experience at a big program. Athletic, fast and with potential doing versatile things like dropping into coverage, he’d be a nice developmental fit while learning from a guy like Josh Bynes.
