The defense was bad though, no doubt.
My problem with the first pick was who was defending in that direction: Denzel Ward. I saw him play at Ohio State and he feasted on whip routes; I think Cleveland made a great decision to draft him. Lots of cornerbacks can be easily beaten on whip routes but Ward is a beast against them.
When the ball left Joe Burrow’s hand I yelled, “That’s six!” because I saw Ward break to the inside. That football was his from the get-go; he made a great play on a not-so-good pass.
