Lawson was a first round talent who, if healthy 3 straight years rather than injured, would have been probably been a first rounder. Lawson was the #1 DE prospect coming out of high school and has been a badass since he was a kid.

That's not hype, that's just how it is.

I think that Bengals fans will realize quickly who The Law Dog is and he will be seeing the field early. MONSTER player and I think could be the steal of the draft for the Bengals.

Exactly, and we should keep him in a rotation to keep him fresh and to reduce the injury possibility.

I also don't like the possibility of him playing backer just because it's not who he is.  If we played a 3-4, maybe put him at outside backer and let him rush the passer, but he wouldn't be doing it in a 4-3 besides for blitzing.  Take a look at a guy like Geathers and see that taking him from what he did best in rushing the passer at end and putting him at backer limited his productivity.  

If that arthritis comes with his hip injury, it wouldn't be good for him to be taking on blockers head-on at backer.  

Leave Lawson at end and let him get after the passer.
