Over the past couple of seasons the Bengals have had some real issues at linebacker. Vontaze Burfict has been in and out of the lineup due to injury and suspension, which has left the Bengals to rely on their depth too often. The Bengals are still holding out hope on Nick Vigil and Jordan Evans, but drafting a blue chip player may be exactly what the Bengals need to fix their issues at the position. That player could end up being Tremaine Edmunds.
Edmunds is a very talented linebacker out of Virginia Tech who offers a rare combination of great size and speed.
