lurker first post. I just went and watched a 7 minute video of Samaje and all I can say is "wow". He looks like Zeke Elliot breaking tackle after tackle. I would take him all day long. I know nothing else about him except that I want him on my team.
Like most I fear Barnett will simply be an average pro due to lack of superb physical skill set, but who knows. If he learns some other technique he could be solid. Is it worth the risk at 9 to get an average Defensive End? I have seen other scouts who think he will be great so who knows.
Allen is the guy you watched during the season and never imagined the Bengals would get a chance to draft at 9. I know the criticism about being a 3-4 End but hell, if you draft him you change to a 3-4 or whatever. He's just a beast that makes plays. I doubt he makes it to us though.
I would be happy with Howard.
I am really torn at what to do if Hooker slips which I think will happen.
