With Shemar, he only needs to be better than Sam this year, not a high bar. I think he will be much better and will surprise a lot 
that hated the pick. Might not get the sacks, because he has problems tackling the QB once he gets there, but he will get TFL's,
pass deflections, hits, pressures etc.


His upside is insane. That is why I liked the pick. If Montgomery can teach him to pace himself and try and be fundamental and
tackle once he gets to the QB or RB look out.

I disagree, kind of.
Sure, that's a bar, but my main concern is pass rush apart from Hendrickson in general.

If Ossai can cover that and get 7+ sacks himself (more what Hubbard usually got around during his better years), then Stewart can take more time and that's fine.
If Ossai flounders or gets hurt, the Bengals will need someone to carry that load.
Bengals might need both Ossai and either Murphy or Stewart if Hendrickson doesn't play some games.
I'm very nervous about Stewart's readiness to contribute in the passing game, and same with Murphy.
