I can't stand John Ross. I whined like a steeler offensive lineman called for holding when we picked him. His play makes me angry. His stupid face makes me even angrier. It makes me furious when a f/o completely botches a pick like that when even sidewalk fans knew it was a mistake.

But he is fast, and maybe, somehow, this new group can find a way to make that speed useful. If not, so be it. That 5th we might get for him this season can be the 6th we get for him at the trade deadline. Dumping him now just seems reactionary and impetuous, 2 things a young coach should not be labeled this early in his tenure. 

This.  I don't see the possible value of gaining what is probably a 5th - 7th round pick.    I would be surprised if it is better than a 6th and would not be surprised by a late 7th rounder.

We have plenty of late round picks.  And it concerns me that with a hole at the wide receiver spot our new HC does not feel the need to see what he can get out of him.   Sort of the final squandering of what is left of a very bad draft pick.

And as others have pointed out it is very concerning that the last 3 1st round picks have been such abysmal failures.   I know that jury is out on Price, but at first blush...
