We will see. There is always a lot of fluff around players that teams don't buy in to at all. I think the fact that he has a torn labrum repair andit could take 4-6 months to fully recover is an issue, but you are taking a first round pick to be on your team for a minimum of five years, probably more. I think his value to the Bengals would be tremendous. If there weren't so many highly ranked DEs and safeties in the draft, I think Ross would be rated even higher.
And I know the Bengals don't rate the safety position that highly.
