I would take Jeremy Chinn, all day, every day, over those guys for a few very specific reasons. Body size is the first, 6'3" 215 with 32.125" arms, and still ran a 4.45. That frame and length can't be duplicated in a smaller bodied player, and I don't think that he's done growing yet. Secondly, he was a big fish in a small pond at Southern Illinois, he was likely bored and didn't get the advanced development from playing in a major program, meaning that the sky is still the limit as this guy develops into a grown man's game.
If the Bengals are serious about 3-4 hybrid defense, this is the guy I want developing into that "Star" position player.
I like Chinn as well for those same reasons. He's ranked 6th in my book and I wouldn't be upset if the Bengals get him or Winfield if they trade down a bit in the 2nd round.
But, the big school conferences that those others (besides Dugger and Chinn) do help these players become more NFL ready with the talent they're going up against week in and out. And, a guy like Winfield as I was saying with the bloodlines usually carries over well to the NFL.
