I'm passing on both in the first. The need isn't big enough to gamble on their question marks with that valuable pick.

I agree Klancey isn't Donald. He's more of a Sample type and we have a couple of those DE/DT's already. Give me Mazi if we have to choose between the two.

I'd LOVE an interior pass rushing threat like Kancey to add another wrinkle.
However, I don't think that would be the pick with Hill still on the roster for two more seasons and they just drafted Carter last year.
If a DT is taken, I think it'd be a guy who could eventually replace Reader.
While I think Tufele is ok, I see him more as a 3T than run-stuffing 1T.
Bengals seem to be fans of taking DL on Day 2 though, not late Day 1, so I'm anticipating a different position in Rd 1.

While Kancey is the better player right now. I think Mazi will have the better career.
So I would take Mazi.

Don't love either I guess I'd go Kancey we need interior rush more. He could be a rotation player on passing downs and help a championship team get over the edge. He's smaller then Donald and a complete liability in the run game I don't wanna draft a rotational player in round 1 unless you think he could gain weight working with an NFL strength coach and be a full time player by year two. Think you can find NT's later pass rushing more valuable trait that's why I picked Kancey.
