Also, anyone blaming the Bengals for passing up Mahomes for Ross needs to quit. Nobody knew Mahomes would turn out the way he did. If NFL teams knew he would be this good they would have drafted him number one overall or fought like hell to get that first pick. Hindsight is 20/20. Now if you want to argue that they passed up on guys like Malik Hooker, Jonathan Allen, OJ Howard, Marshon Lattimor, etc then that is a legit conversation.

KC traded up to get him, so I would say they had a bit of a better idea of what Mahommes was that we did.  Mahommes isn't like some Tom Brady late-round shot, he was a 1st round talent and he's an ideally-sized pocket QB.  But it was the 2017 draft and everyone was thinking more about "getting their Dak Prescott" on day 2.

Again, I'm not saying I saw the future on Mahommes, but taking a talented QB when you have a solid veteran QB in place is a better bet than Darius Heyward Bey 2.0.
