22. Cincinnati Bengals

LB. Notre Dame. Te'Von Coney . 22. player. 56.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a rock solid defensive line and a good secondary. However, they’ve been exposed as having one of the worst linebacker units in football. Not only is there no star power, none of the guys they have can even be considered good. Not even Vontaze Burfict anymore. This is a big weakness that offenses have begun to exploit in earnest as the Kansas City Chiefs proved in their 45-10 devastation at Arrowhead. Drafting Te’Von Coney with all his range, toughness, smarts and athleticism would be a nice step in the right direction. He can at least stop the constant hemorrhaging.
