Go back and look at what Sanu and Jones did as rookies.  I think Ross and Malone can develop as well as they did.

I was a huge fan of watkins coming out of college, but we have MUCH bigger needs in free agency than WR.

I'm trying to remember if I've see a rookie 1st round WR have a worst first year than Ross had. Sanu, Jones, Malone, Core and Boyd all had better rookie years than Ross and there's not a 1st round pick among them.

Watkins had 65 catches for 982 yards with 6 TDs his rookie year. Compare that to the triple zero Ross put up.


I'm not counting on Ross for a single thing other being a player I get to rag on due to his pathetic production.


Watkins would be an instantaneous upgrade. Therefore, of course, Mikey Brown won't consider it, no matter what Mixon has to say.

Nope, but he'll spend the 9th overall pick for one.
