Best match – Joe Mixon, in my opinion. I’d then go with Alvin Kamara. Fournette is deemed a special enough runner that he could maybe offset the pass catching questions.

Jim, why can't the Bengals save themselves from red flags and crappy personalities/legal troubles?

If they are still at 9 with those 8 off the board, who do they pick? Any chance of Mixon at 9? John Ross?

I think Ross is a great fit for the Bengals across from AJ and Eifert. Obviously the speed, but the kid can run routes and has hands too. He gets knocked for his size but he's about the same frame as Antonio Brown was coming out of college.

Just a fun fact, under Marvin Lewis, the Bengals have only drafted 1 WR under 6' and that was Mario Alford in the 7th round of 2015. John Ross is 5'11. Bengals have an absolute love of tall WRs and giant DEs.
