Sure the warning signs were there but it's not like Ross didn't have any. For other reasons of course. It's the same crap as the Mike Brown wanted Colin Kap when Andy looked inferior. I'm convinced that no matter who we picked the result would have been the same. First rounder the can't get on the field. Also at least LB was a position of need unlike a WR.

I disagree that WR wasn't a position of need.  If you watched the Super Bowl teams, those QBs have 4-5 legitimate receiving threats.  Outside of AJ Green, the Bengals didn't have any WRs that threatened people vertically or could capitalize on single coverage.  Core showed some promise, but he didn't get much of an opportunity with Brandon Lafell taking the majority of snaps at X.  

The warning signs of character are far different from that of injury history.  Especially when considering in the first round.
