John Ross will be a Bengal

Speed is great, but when you've already had surgery on BOTH of your knees, how long is that speed going to last/your body going to hold up under that speed?

We're not talking predicting injuries, we're talking already had injuries. There are some serious red flags for #9. If the Bengals were picking #24 or something, I would probably be all for Ross. At #9 though, you can't be taking big red flags like that. You can't afford to have a top-10 pick flop.

Eh, as a bengals fan, if I get 5-7 years of elite speed and above average production while our window is open I won't consider that a flop.

Outside of a rueben Foster or Howard no one will have more impact this year. Any DE or DT, outside of Thomas or Allen, will most likely be part of a rotation playing under 50% of the snaps.

I don't think people are taking into account how differently defenses will have to play and scheme
