The Bengals have definite needs on the O-Line, but the defense hasn't been good either. Getting a chance to get another disruptor on the inside is just too good to pass up. I have Payne as a top 15 pick. I find him comparable to Geno Atkins and what's better than having Geno Atkins? How about two Geno Atkins types!
Atkins is a 3 tech who wins with elite quickness , technique and leverage. Was a great pass rusher in college but undersized.
Payne mostly played nose in college and his pass rushing and disruption was fairly non existent. He's a great run defender but rarely if ever got penetration. Wasn't asked to do it might either. Grand total of 1 TFL and 1 sack in 2017..
Wildly different skillsets as DTs...
