Jer'Zhan Newton - DT - Illinois - 6'2" 295
To have Newton still sitting there with the 22nd selection for the Bengals is an absolute steal. What is pretty clear about Newton is that he is a disruptive force to the backfield of opposing offenses. I have watched a lot of film on Newton and I feel like his lack of length is a definite disadvantage for him and one that causes him to miss some tackles but what he brings at an elite level is the ability to get into offensive backfields and disrupt their plan.
Newton has an elite motor and plays with outstanding natural level which comes with his stature and he uses that to his advantage. Newton as very good natural power and has extremely violent hands. He consistently draws double teams and will need to become more consistent at defeating those double teams at the NFL level but drawing those double teams is a real benefit to the Bengals defense as it should allow other defenders to stay clean.
This is an extremely high value get for the Bengals with the 22nd selection and one that should immediately raise the ability of the Bengals defensive line to make plays behind the line of scrimmage
