Chris Simms has an interesting (and sounds valid) take on this draft:

There’s a lot of positives here. The bottom line is they needed a DE and that’s where they went. After missing on Murphy pretty much plenty of reason to be skeptical. 
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Obviously an NFL plant to keep you guys from boycotting.

I want to know what Jeff Hostetler's son thinks about it

Simms has the bonafides to be a credible opinion here.

Sorry, I can't listen to him until he learns to pronounce Bengals instead of calling them the Bangles.

Well, he walks like an Egyptian, so...

Eh. Accents are what accents are...

I remember him absolutely gushing over DJ Turner. If neither he nor Stewart pan out I think that we can reasonably toss him.

I like DJ Turner. The fact he says he doesn't have any pass rush moves is a positive because we can mold him how we want him is probably reason enough to toss him.

From what I have reading and watching Stewarts tape, he has two main issues.

1st - Half the time he doesn't keep his head up so he doesn't know where the ball is.  This makes him look lost because he is.  When he keeps his head up pre-snap he definitely sees the play and moves toward the ball.  
2nd - He doesn't use his hands....at all.  This s the main reason he does not get separation.  He beats his man and then doesn't shed, which hinders getting ot the ball after beating his man.

Regardless of the two things above he almost always beats his man routinely.  The only exception I saw was when he went against the LSU tackle that was a top 5 pick.  Teach him to keep his head up EVERY play and some basic hand shedding and he'll be a monster.

So he plays blindly and doesn't use his hands, but wins most of the time.

Good news is he was blind and now he can see. Montgomery can also help he rediscover he has hands, so use them.

Maybe it was me, but I got a laugh out of your comments. There are spot on, but just my weird sense of humor or the 1st round pick is blind playing with no hands was funny.

 Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

I give Chris Simms a lot of crap, have for years, but he is spot on here on Shemar Stewart especially. Al Golden got one heck of a player
for his Defense. At the very least we have an upgrade to Sam Hubbard because this guy is a freak athlete and is great at sealing the edge
in the run game. As Chris says here, imagine Stewart in pure pass rush sets not getting doubled or chipped as much because Trey is on
the other side who was the NFL sack leader last season...

Shemar needs to learn some moves and he could be a terror for QB's in the NFL. He can already play all across the line. Going to be fun
to watch this guy develop.
