He can play End and LB, he can rush the passer and cover. Very versatile and a better pass rusher than Solomon Thomas who i also like.

Solomon is just a more physical player, i am for Barnett first but who knows if he is there. I think Taco would be a reach at 9.

I can't remember the last time the Bengals consistently rushed the passer from the LB position.
It needs to be pressure from the front four. That's their (stubborn?) philosophy.

So the Bengals need a better edge rusher than MJ and a better interior rusher than Peko, Gilberry, Thompson, Hunt, or whoever.

If you want the Bengals to REALLY improve their pass rush and do it "their way", look for a base DE that can rush inside on passing downs + a true edge rusher at DE early in the draft.
