"Then there's Dawson, the final pick of the third round in this year's draft. At one time, Dawson was projected as a first-round pick and the best 4-3 linebacker in this year's draft.

That was that case with Luke Kuechly going into the 2012 draft. He ended up going ninth overall to the Panthers, where he's become the best inside linebacker in football. Trapasso called Dawson a prototype of Kuechly, which should make Bengals fan smile.

Prototype -- Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers: He has the athleticism to frequently fly to the football, can take on blocks then shed them and is comfortable running down the seam with tight ends.

He's the most reliable middle linebacker in football.

Rookie -- Paul Dawson, Cincinnati Bengals: Though he didn't time nearly as well as Kuechly, his play recognition and reaction are supremely impressive.

He has the size, aggressiveness and game speed to instantly translate to the NFL after playing in the wide open Big 12 at TCU."

The comments are funny. One fan lives next to Luke's Aunt and says he will try to get Luke to sign with the Bengals. [emoji1]

Sure, go ahead and compre some 4th round guy to a NFL Defensive POY.

Ridiculous. Many LB picked past the early 4th will be lucky to be starting before his rookie contract is up and that goes for a lot of mid-to-late round draftees.

I mean, I like to compare Shaq to TD...but they were both first rounders and both played some coverage coming into the league.

Meh, they're excited about their player.  I'm not gonna dog them for it.  They got a guy who was widely considered to be the best 4-3 LB in the draft prior to the combine at the bottom of the 3rd.  Yeah, he ran a terrible time, but he was probably still a good gamble at that point in the draft.

I'd say it's meant as a compliment.

As far as realistic? Well, there's a link on the page to an article comparing Cedric Ogbuehi to Anthony Munoz, so... :unsure:

The comparison is that they are both highly regarded Tackles selected in the first by Cinci after injuries. How is that wrong?

      I'm an old man, too. My back hurts and I yell at the clouds plenty. That's why I use the antenna.  I have never paid for cable TV. I have cable internet, but not TV. I get that we can feel like companies charge too much for a service, but I don't believe they are price gouging. They are simply working in the free market. When their price gets too high, either customers will decide to find another source or not watch at all.  When the system is working correctly the customer always feels like they could get a slightly better deal and the supplier always feels like they could have charged a little more. On a side note, is there anyway you could post that pricing plan from the 1900's. I would love to see what we were complaining about back then.

      I don't like round pegs and square holes.  I can be find with either.  You just have to pick one.  It's been that simple from the start.  Carolina remains in the round peg/square hole phase of life.  again, you are fixated like most Bryce supporters on how passes are graded.  Again, Teddy Bridgewater can grade well on the deep passes overall he happens to make.   If he grades well on those select passes.....that doesn't somehow magically mean he isn't checking down out there is isn't pulling trigger when he needs to.  The well graded deep pass doesn't make Teddy a gunslinging chunk passer playing the way a scheme would need him to. They remain two different things. his deep ball at Bama wasn't good.  That's not my soapbox but you can find threads on that too where that he been discussed in detail.  He just could just make off target throws to wide open dudes.
