Alot of talent but #1 he needs better awareness, control, and eye discipline. Stewart is young and only has about 1200ish snaps in 3 years most of them coming in 2024. 

I will say on the flip side listening to interviews, it appears our DC is going to CREATE A ROLE FOR STEWART. The Ravens did a total offensive revamp around Lamar Jackson. I have never seen a defense look to revamp an entire defense or at. minimum ways to help him help us in 2025.

If there is a defense in need of a reboot, it is a great offensive and poor 2024 Bengal's team.

I am excited to see him. I just posted a new thread and Pete Brown eluded to moving Stewart among the defensive line to create a mismatch agaist OL from other team. To me, that is exciting to draft a stud athlete (like Lamar is) and then game plan for him and make him the long term face of our defense. If it works, it could be epic,

There's always the guy in the spotlight that gets the sack, jumps on the loose ball or gets the tackle. But for damn near every time that happens there's another player that caused that disruption. 

He's a freak and he needs to be corraled in and that's exactly what NFL coaching will do. Few guys in the NFL get constant doubled or even chipped and that happened extensively to SS in college. I was ecstatic with this pick. I've known about this kid for 5 years going back to college recruiting and have watched him extensively especially being familiar with the scheme at A&M.

Have to bump Higgy's post from the bottom of the last page.
