Voch Lombardi's Mock Pick for Bengals at #9

He doesn't just have speed.  He has holy shit speed and incredible quickness.  I don't know if defenses will dare to press cover him. 

And he is the same size as the most prolific receiver in the game.  And he won't be asked to carry the load.  Just bring the big play ability that defense will be forced to respect.  In other words, a thing we don't have.

There are two guys in this draft who probably won't be gone when it's our turn who would bring instant impact for us--John Ross, OJ Howard.

All that's cool, but it doesn't change the fact he hasn't shown he can beat press. Alabama pressed him and they neutralized him. In the NFL teams will press him because that's what his weakness is, they will dare to because they can.

I'm not saying he won't be good but the hype lately is out of control. He isn't a day one superstar like people expect. Id expect Fuller/Boyd production as a rookie.
