The Bengals have three starting line backers that are average. No one in this group is an outstanding, pro bowl type LB.

So does the Bengals need to draft a LB? Maybe, if there is a good linebacker that falls to them in the draft they should grab him. Because, Keith Rivers has been less than advertised and Dhani Jones is getting old and Ray Maualuga is on and off.
If the Bengals are planning on moving Maualuga to the middle and putting Brandon Johnson or some else on the outside then they need to sign a free agent or draft someone.
I really hope that the Bengals sign or draft a LB that can help with coverages. Our LB's are built for run stop not so much for pass coverage.
