The Cincinnati Bengals have long struggled to field a complete linebacker unit, which has led to many missed tackles, plays, and opportunities. With a top pick in the 2021 draft, should the Bengals look at shoring up this unit? Cincinnati has gone many years with subpar linebacker play.
Even when the team was competing for AFC North titles and making the playoffs, the play of the linebackers hurt the Bengals more than it helped. Rather than attack this area, Cincinnati has signed low-level free agents or late-round draft picks to try and fill this void.
