- Ross lacked confidence and needed to be coddled. In short, couldn't handle the pressure.
-  Warrick was coming along nicely, but suffered an injury he never recovered from.
- Akili just didn't put in the work. He was essentially Jamarcus Russell with less talent.

Confidence is huge. But so is work ethic and talent. You need all 3.

Akili Smith has to be the worst draft pick the Bengals ever made especially after turning down the insane offer from the Saints to sit there and take him...
