Sam Hubbard played right at 50% and he has 2 established veteran des ahead of him. We also haven’t had a high round pick at Dline besides this year. Newton would come in and immediately push for legit 3-tech snaps. Bowers would be PHENOMENAL. But so would Newton. I just prefer DT as it is the more immediate need.  ESPECIALLY with how garbage the defense, and particularly the dline has looked this year.

The probable reality is that any rookie drafted unless slotted into a hole vacated by a departing FA is going to get limited snaps.
There could potentially be a hole at WR (WR2 or slot), RT, NT, and TE.

FA will dictate where the holes are somewhat, but there should be a good player at one of the above positions in Rd 1 where the Bengals pick.
