Hendrickson and Hubbard played too many snaps last season and were gassed down the stretch out of no fault of theirs. They are both great players but they are also human and need a break. The Bengals now have a third any down and distance DE that can step in with starter quality traits. Yep, that is sure something to complain about.
You're also talking about a guy in Hendrickson who played over 2/3 of the season with a broken hand. Sam is not a true DE/Pass rusher, either. He's definitely a great player and a playmaker both on the inside/outside. Excited to see Ossai also take another positive step like he did over the past half-season.
This was not only an excellent pick as a player/athlete/value pick but one of a huge need.
