From the amnount of hype Dawson gets around here you would think he was a first round pick.  The fact is that it is rare for 4th round picks to step in and be solid starters their rookie season.

Where are you getting this from?  He has a VERY small sample size.  Like Burfict, PJ was a first round talent that slipped to a later round (I know Burfict wasn't drafted at all) and I think he could be a very solid contributor if given a chance.

The Bengals still run over 2/3rds of their defense out of nickel.  Dawson played in a unique defense at TCU that showed his athleticism and instincts.  One scout said "I have never seen the kid take a false step". 

Lamur, though an athletic freak, has zero instincts.  Look at the very first play against Buffalo where he vacated his zone, rushed to the middle, and McCoy blew 40 yards past where he started. 

Dawson deserves a chance.
