Darius - 6 foot 2 234 pounds with a 4.70 forty at his Combine.
Pratt - 6 foot 2 240 pounds with a 4.57 forty at his Combine
The Bengals hitting to the upside on some of these picks sure would help.
Yes, i liked Leonard last year too. Pratt tackles a lot like him and as shown is faster.

Pratt is that type, if he can cover Wideouts on the edge he can cover TE's.

Brown, Vigil, Pratt being healthy should be an upgrade over the guys that had to fill in last year due to injuries.
Maybe even Malik can become relevant.
It isn't as hopeless as it may seem but the young guys have to get on the field and start performing.
Injuries were a big problem last year, here is to this being a thing of the past with the new medical staff.

Feel the same Wedge.

A Bengal ascension coupled with a Steeler decline would be awesome and Bengal fans could sure use some of that.
Damn rights.

Yeah, Bush is really explosive and one hell of a blitzer. He can take bad angles and sometimes doesn't wrap up well though and i think the Steelers made a big gamble trading all those picks for him. He is no Shazier who was more of a gashing run stopper who could cover. Hope Mixon puts Bush on his azz for years to come.
