Outlook: P.J. Dawson

Outlook: P.J. Dawson

As soon as the Bengals drafted TCU linebacker P.J. Dawson, pundits started comparing him to Vontaze Burfict. Both are aggressive, instictive tacklers with versatility to play anywhere. We're not sure if Dawson can come in and start right away, but with several Bengals linebackers dealing with injuries, he might not sit for long. Unless he earns playing time in training camp, Dawson isn't worth spending a pick on in seasonal leagues. But in long-term formats he's worth a late choice on the hunch that he eventually becomes a regular starter.
