Rookie Impact

I don't see Dawson making much of an impact unless our LB situation turns into a dumpster fire.  I don't mean to bash Dawson, but he is a bit overrated around here.

I don't think Kroft will see the field as much as some think, but I could be wrong. I thought I saw our new beat writer describe both rookie TEs as "very raw" or something of the sort. Kroft could be the TE2 of the future, but I'm not so sure his rookie campaign will be his breakout year.

Completely agree about Dawson. From everything I've seen, it seems like he could be a natural fit at WILL in our scheme, but people are talking about him like he's a 10 year vet that's been a perennial All-Pro.

Without Burfict, our LB corp is already a dumpster fire, IMO. From top to bottom, it's probably the Bengals' weakest positional group on the team. Tons of inexperienced depth and none of the projected starters are to write home about. Some of them are alright, but even another weak, inexperienced group like TE has Eifert. Tyler Eifert is better at playing TE than Maualuga, Hawk, Lamur, or Rey are at playing LB. The Bengals' defense doesn't really rely on elite LB play though, so that's why I'm not overly concerned with the lack of talent there.
