2017 NFL Mock Draft: Aftermath of Greatest Super Bowl
56. The Cincinnati Bengals should be better than they are with QB Andy Dalton and WR A.J. Green. But you can’t win football games on offense alone so they have to fix their defense. They don’t seem to have the leadership on defense that they have on offense. <p>That’s probably why someone always loses their mind in the middle of a highly contested game. Drafting Alabama ILB Reuben Foster would give the Bengals the leader that defense needs. Foster comes from a pro style defense at Alabama so Xs and Os won’t be a problem.</p><div class=. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster. 9. player
As a player, he is a big hitter that rattles skeletons when he hits people and he’s a sure tackler. He also shows good speed and agility to stay with TEs and RBs in pass coverage. Foster is ready to be a dynamic LB in the NFL immediately and for a long time to come.
It’s time for Rey Maualuga to retire or join a 3-4 team to only play on running downs. And Vontaze Burfict can’t be trusted to be the steady leader of a defense with the drama he brings. The Bengals could improve with a new leader on this defense with this pick.
