Ross was...wow was he a bad pick. I remember hearing Lapham tell us the pick and we all hoped he was wrong for once. John Ross was a reach and it probably did the player no favors to have that sort of pressure. 

Cedric Ogbuehi is playing for the Texans these days on a league minimum contract. I am sort of surprised he never turned it around. 

Speaking of 1st round picks from our past, Dre Kirkpatrick is an unsigned FA right now. His last contract was a 1 year $1 million deal. I mention it because if we don't get the corners we need in the draft he might be a nice depth piece, though I'm sure he is nowhere as fast as he once was. 

I actually really liked John Ross. I thought he could be a great player if used properly and could keep his injuries at bay.
Ultimately, I think he was used too much on the outside and deep. His strength was YAC. Get him the ball on short routes and he'll use his speed and agility to make people miss.
