However, I don't see the Bengals picking him. It's not that I don't like him, because I think he can be successful in the NFL, it's just where do we put him?
Hill and Gio are our 1-2 punch. Samuel won't add anything in the RB department that Gio doesn't already bring.
Then you have the WR part. I wish they'd play Boyd on the outside, but wouldn't surprise me if they kept him as a slot WR next year. Also, Dalton likes taller guys.
We do need speed, however. That is something we have lacked at the WR position.
Remember all those cute gadget plays that we would run with Andrew Hawkins? I could see Samuel taking a few of those to the house. He's being listed as a WR, not a RB. He does have the speed to take the proverbial top off a defense.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
