2017 NFL Mock Draft: Free Agency Creates Big Trade Moves

56. Most will assume the Cincinnati Bengals have to address the offensive line after what they lost in free agency. That however would be bad draft policy. Trying to replace an opening right away in a class that may not be prepared to do so. This team has lots of experienced draft experts. It has to be about finding the best players. If there are two players on the board who fit two needs on the roster, then take the higher graded player. The bigger need can’t matter. <p>That’s why Reuben Foster is a no brainer pick. He’s by far the best interior linebacker in the class. Comparisons are draw from Patrick Willis. An alpha male who hunts ball carriers. Seek and destroy with thundering hits and consistent tackling. Don’t be misdirected by his combine incident. It won’t erase years of quality tape and a clean history of trouble-making off the field. Cincinnati has never had a middle linebacker of his quality.</p>. MLB. Alabama. Reuben Foster . 9. player
