We have not had a WR draft pick start week one since AJ Green. But Ross was a top 10 pick, which is why I didn't like the pick. Too high for a speed guy with limited size coming off an injury.
I get it. I hated the pick too. I wanted OJ howard, Allen or Foster.
Guys who can come in, Day 1, and play
Hell if ross is 'project' and coming in as our 4th WR option, it goes against everything else our fans think, that we can compete this year.
Cause, teams in their prime, or in contention, they bring in players to help now. Cause NFL windows slam shut.
You wouldnt take a flier on a top 10 'project' that you dont intend to use, if you think you can win now. ESPECIALLY when a number of their recent #1s have failed to do squat on the field.
