Newton or sweat?

[*ochocincos*]

I go with Newton because of his expected better pass rush contributions, but Newton might get less snaps than Sweat would as a rookie because of playing more in a rotation whereas Sweat would have more of a chance to come in and start right away.

For example, DJ Reader played 590 defensive snaps as the NT starter in 2021, but BJ Hill played 502 defensive snaps as a rotational pass rusher in the same year.

Especially with this being Hill's last year as a Bengal, I'd go with Newton and use him as a rotational guy as a rookie before taking over as starting 3T 2025 and beyond.
