Linebacker remains the most pressing positional need for the Cincinnati Bengals this year. One of two talented guys could land in their lap at No. 11."As the 2019 NFL Draft draws ever so near Jordan Evans Jersey , a small handful of familiar names continue to be connected to the Cincinnati Bengals. This draft class is an interesting one for the club, as it’s the first under a new head coach for the first time in 16 years. It’s also one that should be a mix of both the filling of dire needs and the use of foresight on “luxury picks”. Speaking of the former, linebacker continues to be the most commonly-mocked position to the Bengals at No. 11 overall. It’s for good reason, as the group is in major transition this year. When we engaged in the SB Nation contributor mock draft a couple of weeks ago, we made the selection of Michigan linebacker, Devin Bush. The reasoning behind this pick was a blend of need and how the board fell, but it isn’t like the former Wolverine is a poor consolation prize. As the pre-draft process began, Bush was pegged as a late-first to early-second rounder. But, after an impressive showing at the NFL Combine, Bush has propelled himself into top-15 chatter. In 2019, he had 66 total tackles (8.5 for loss), 4.5 sacks and four passes defended. He is known as a bit more able in pass coverage than LSU’s Devin White, though the former Tiger is tagged as the better overall prospect. Why the pick makes sense for the Bengals:Even with the re-signing of Preston Brown Preston Brown Jersey , the Bengals’ biggest positional need is at linebacker. Bush has great range and is able in pass coverage, despite notching just one interception in three collegiate seasons. He has the potential to be a three-down player on defense. CBS Sports has Bush ranked as the No. 11 overall prospect in this year’s class, and is 14th on Gil Brandt’s list of rookies. Cincinnati has some players with a little range at the position (Nick Vigil, Jordan Evans), but they do not have Bush’s instincts. He is the second-highest rated linebacker in this year’s class. If he does not get picked by Cincinnati, it’s very possible he lands within the division (not the greatest reason to pick a guy, but seeing him twice a year could bring “what if’s?”).Cincinnati’s defense was deplorable in almost every area last year, and the linebackers were the biggest issue. Why the pick doesn’t make sense:Even with his high overall rankings, is the value there in taking the second-best player at a position with such a high pick?Bush had a dip in production in 2019 from 2018—29 fewer tackles, one less interception, two fewer tackles for loss, three fewer passes defended and one less quarterback sack. Linebacker is becoming less of a premium position in today’s NFL. Cincinnati hasn’t had the best track record with drafting linebackers with high picks recently. Bush is listed at the No. 18 best player in the class by Pro Football Focus’ metrics. Does linebacker have the same impact as a quarterback, or a player on either line?If many players the Bengals covet are off of the board Ryan Glasgow Jersey , moving back a little bit and grabbing Bush would be a home run move. It’s a big if, in terms of being able to have their cake and eat it too, but that’s one of a few ideal scenarios. Overall, Bush would be a very solid, but not spectacular pick. He’d definitely help anchor a defense that needs improvement in many areas, and he brings an athleticism needed to thrive within the AFC North. What do you think of the possibility of the Bengals drafting Devin Bush at No. 11? Last week: 5-8-1Weeks 1 through 6: 42-44-4Last week wasn't the best of weeks.聽Time to聽get back over the .500 mark…Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5) vs. Tennessee (London)The Chargers were quite impressive last week in Cleveland and seem to be hitting their stride. The Titans, well, they must protect Marcus Mariota a little better if they want to hang in this one.Regardless, hopefully this game will be a better showing for the London fans than Seahawks-Raiders was last week.Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5)Indianapolis (-7.5) vs. BuffaloThis game feels like it will be a struggle for both sides. For the Bills, Derek Anderson is an upgrade over Nathan Peterman, but that's not exactly a compliment. Running backs do flourish in the passing game against the Colts defense, so keep an eye on LeSean McCoy.Pick: Buffalo (+7.5)Philadelphia (-5) vs. CarolinaEagles are 13-2 in their last 15 home games and are coming off of a thrashing of the Giants last Thursday night. They should come out fresh and ready to go.Pick: Philadelphia (-5)Tampa Bay (-3.5) vs. ClevelandIf you take away last week's blowout loss, the Browns have been in every single game they've played in this season. I'd expect this one to be no different. Both Baker & Jameis have big days.Pick: Cleveland (+3.5) Detroit (-3) vs. MiamiIt is slated to be 88 degrees with 69% humidity on Sunday in Miami Jordan Evans Jersey , and the Dolphins are 3-0 at home so far this season.聽They also have Kenyan Drake & the聽ageless Frank Gore聽to wear down a poor Lions run D.Pick: Miami (+3)Jacksonville (-4) vs. HoustonI honestly am not sure what to think of Jacksonville right now. I'll take them here, though, as they'll come out with an edge after being humiliated in Dallas last Sunday.Pick: Jacksonville (-4)Minnesota (-3.5) vs. New York JetsHow good is Adam Thielen?? With another 100 yards receiving this week, he would tie the NFL record with seven consecutive 100-yard games to begin a season. He is also on pace to break the single-season NFL record for catches. Not bad for a UDFA.Pick: Minnesota (-3.5)New England (-2.5) vs. ChicagoMitch Trubisky is a different QB at home (in a good way), but the Patriots offense is rolling right now.Pick: New England (-2.5)Baltimore (-2.5) vs. New OrleansDrew Brees has聽beaten every single NFL team in his career….. except the Ravens. Coming off a bye, he gets that W here.Pick: New Orleans (+2.5) Washington (-1) vs. DallasDallas is 0-3 on the road. Washington has beat some good teams at home. I'll take Washington.Pick: Washington (-1)Los Angeles Rams (-9.5) vs. San Francisco9.5 points is a lot for a division game on the road. The Rams stay unbeaten, but it will be closer than some think.Pick: San Francisco (+9.5)Kansas City (-6) vs. CincinnatiThe Chiefs may have lost against the Patriots, but I'm sold on聽Patrick Mahomes聽and the Chiefs offense. They will score in bunches on Sunday Night & the Bengals won't be able to keep up.Pick: Kansas City (-6)Atlanta (-4) vs. New York GiantsI mean, we've seen better Monday Night matchups.Pick: Atlanta (-4)
