Did nobody from the Bengals ever watch him throw before they drafted him? His arm is clearly not an NFL caliber arm, and his NFL rookie year was his age 25 year, so it's not like he was 20-21 and could potentially grow into a stronger arm.
Not sure how much stock you put in PFF, but ADG had a 40.7 rating last year. Granted I don't know if the kid's getting a fair shake since Anarumo is his DC.
Yes, the Finley pick was baffling, especially trading up for him.
ADG is from a small school, expected him to be really raw. Expect him to make a big jump this year. Crazy talent.
I just don't think he was used right as a rookie at all under Lou as you say.
He should be used in more blitz packages.

Edit: Renell Wren is still a mystery. He has the talent, build, athleticism of a top NFL player. That is a guy I'm hoping can take his game to the next level in year 3.
Agree on both these points. If the NFL game slows down for ADG anytime soon, he could be hella good.
Always thought it would take a couple years with him till he becomes a very good to great Linebacker, very raw.
Wren was also raw, want to see something from him this year.
