Yep. It remains to be seen if ANY of the rookies skills translate to games...even Mixon.
I tend to think that Lawson and Mixon's skills will translate...but it's definitely an unknown.
I'll be more concerned about the Ross pick if he misses another string of games this year. If he returns Week 3 and plays 14 games, I'll be happy.
True for all draft picks including guys who are supposed can't miss stars (not just starters) like Myles Garrett who had an injury filled college career and now injured again and won't play any snaps in week 1.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Funny how so many want to label Ross as being an "injury-prone" guy but no one put that label on Garrett, eh?
Same with Mike Williams.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Foster would have been my pick.....but it is what it is. I hope Ross can at least play 10 games....and make the impact we need to take the top off of the defense. Time will tell.....
EDIT....I wouldn't have been opposed to Cook there either....

He isn't to blame for previous 1st round selection issues. Nor is he responsible for 26 years without a playoff win, but he just might be a part of what changes that fortune. I am 100% behind the guy.
Nice post. +rep

So u wanted us to take a guy drafted over 20 picks later or a guy we could have got with our 2nd rounder at 9. Perfect. Makes sense. I can see why your so salty with Ross missing a week or 2.

Interesting how many people see the ***** future.

He is going to be good opposite of AJ Green. Now if the O line can give Dalton time. I like your chances way better against Baltimore than my team against Seattle.

I stand corrected. So, yes, make it seventeen.

Your first two games look like sure wins against Baltimore and Houston at home. You guys should easily win.

Houston owns us. We can't score on their D. And now they have Watt back.

^Not to mention Watt just raised 22 million dollars for charity.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a run.
Thinking Patriots tuck ruling over Oakland after 911 here.

I doubt Ross will be back game three. I expect him gone longer than that, with the way we treat injuries.
