The Bengals defense likes to play fast and they like to play aggressive – especially when playing against the Steelers.

Reuben Foster is a Top-5 talent landing in Cincy’s lap here and if they even took half the clock to turn in a card I’d be surprised.

True, they need help on offense, but it isn’t as dire as some might think looking at a team with a six win record in 2016.

There’s talent in the later rounds to fill other holes, so grabbing Alabama’s best defender in this spot will take some of the sting out of their fall from grace after looking like a team on the edge of a Super Bowl push.

His interviews should confirm what we basically already know. This is a good young prospect with big leadership potential who could really help tie together this defense.
