Except a 49.4 rating is considered poor for both positions. And I may have posted just PFF's rating but it's not like PFF is the ONLY source that thought Price and Ross played poorly overall last season.

Regardless, Fred (and some others) made a good distinction.
One (Price) was a rookie and the other (Ross) was in his second year.
Expectations are/were higher for a 2nd year vs a rookie.

While I don't fully agree because I think some players still need more time to develop than just one full season, I can understand that logic.
I think too that people really felt the Bengals could trade back and still get Ross if they wanted him rather than spend the 9th pick. However, with Davis and Williams both going off the board before 9 surprisingly, that likely made them feel like they had to take him at 9 if they wanted him.
