Also, I don't know if I believe that the Bengals were not super interested and wanted someone else. I think if anything they viewed Ross as not a top 10 pick but still really liked him, and they were hoping someone would call to trade up and they could still get Ross later in the round while also getting another pick. But for one reason or another, they had to pick someone at 9 and decided on Ross. If they really wanted someone else, they would have taken that person instead.
IMO this is it.
