In the dark horse/dud thread I see people listing Ross as a dark horse hoping he'll push LaFell for playing time this year. That's awfully low expectations for a #9 overall pick isn't it?
The fact that no one is even talking about him earning a starting spot for game 1 this year tells you just how little people on this board expect from him.
What I want to see from him is getting on the field, making plays and helping the team win.
I didn't like the pick because I felt it was a mega reach by Mike Brown for a guy with one productive college season (in a weak defensed conference) and with a significant injury history. Just not the kind of guy I'd spend a top 10 pick on. Let someone else spend their first round pick on that guy and get a guy who's going to have impact sooooooooooon.
well..... for WR sheer SPEED is a big deal. Yeah, you do need to make catches ( Alford never showed that) Ross made plays on a high grade team. the Best 40 time EVER? Okay, if you can't fit that into your strategy, you ain't trying. he does not have to be a Steve largent type. Just going deep ,he stretched the d.
