I definitely agree with this.  Hendrickson was a product of the players around him New Orleans.  New Orleans had good DB's.  New Orleans had a good defense.   They have other players on the DL.   We had none of that last season.  

Anyone who's expecting Hendrickson to have 15 or 16 sacks this season in Cincy this season might want to temper those expectations and lower them to something obtainable like 7 or 8 at max.  

When it come to draft picks I never expect them to come in and make an instant impact.  Usually the biggest impact is their 2nd or 3 years.  They get comfortable with the offense or defense systems, players, the speed of the game, atmophere, practice schedule.  Everything is different in the NFL than college.  That's why i personally would expect Chase to come in this year and get 900 yards and 5 TD's.  There's 2 other great receivers on this team and not everyone's going to have 1,400 and 10 TD's, especially in their first season.
