As for Dawand, he held Hubbard by the collar a few times (it's in one of the videos everyone is showing of him) and it went uncalled, not to mention a failed snatch trap that was clearly a hold.

Hubbard is not the quick-twitch, athletic DE that Dawand will face, so it's no wonder he had a decent game. Let's see him against Watt, Parsons, people like that and if he holds up, great! But I don't think he will.

What I don't think I want the Bengals to do is abandon draft plans for a guy they thought was never going to make it to them.
It's resulted in a guy getting taken typically at a position that won't get that guy much playing time early on, and then the positions of bigger need don't get addressed until (way) later, or sometimes not at all (e.g. TE, OT in this past draft). It seems to throw their draft plans in a tizzy when they do that.
