Smart drafting prioritizing LB
Cincinnati Bengals Camp
Germaine Pratt was a start.
Even then, it felt like the Bengals never really took linebacker seriously during the latter years in Marvin Lewis’ tenure. That continues to show up on the field and the massive struggles against tight ends for years and years is proof enough.
That has to change. While the Bengals should draft any linebacker over a better potential value in the second round…the need is that important at this point.
If — and this is a pretty big if — the team gets some of their own guys back elsewhere and smartly uses free agency, that leaves premium draft picks for the Bengals to address a consistently miserable unit.
