Also so much focus has been on his lack of sacks but where has been a weakness of late especially after Hubbard's body starting breaking down, lack of a good DE against the rush, i think that is wanted move him up over Pearce and Green, Bengals needed a 3 down DE . As for Hubbard a warrior as a player and a local ambassador especially for helping our schools.
For sure, Stewart is great at sealing the edge and is extremely big, fast and strong. Both Pearce and Green are undersized, weren't great at
stopping the run and had character concerns. I didn't like how Shemar handled the contract situation speaking out, but we don't know what
his agent advised him to do and character concerns were not a thing with Shemar before we drafted him.
Sam Hubbard is all class and done some great things for us, but we desperately needed an End opposite of Trey with the skills that Shemar
brings to the table.

Yes sir Sled, Knight is pro ready and that is why Golden and Hobby wanted him so bad.
I like Burks too like I said, all of these guys have been impressing at camp along with our obvious starter in Logan.

With Burrow as the Bengals all-universe QB it's time to maximize all player talent to win, win, and win. Thus, we don't need the 2nd round LB to be a young project, but rather he needs to be a pick that sees the field on game day and impacts the game to favor a Bengals win.
Thus, agreed, he seems ready made to pair with Wilson and that matters more than him being a younger talent.
Well said, we need to win now. Not just try and develop projects that are young.
