Feels though like overpaying for a 2-down run stuffer, but there should be SOME value there.

This should have been expected, if you've paid any attention to how Al Golden uses his DL. He asks them to occupy blockers and have at least one big guy that commands a DT. He likes to use his LBs to generate pass rush.

Personally, I'm glad that the Bengals addressed DL needs today, kind of impressed with them actually. (last year they sat on their hands until the cupboard was empty) We should have a really solid rotation, as I expect the young guys to take a step forward this year.
