Just wondering what I am missing on Josh Doctson? I have watched every piece of film I can find on him and do not see his downside. His build and tenacity remind me much of, do I dare say it, Chad Johnson. Sure he needs to clean up route running but that can be stated of virtually every WR coming out of college.
Yes I know the history of the Bengals is to take the WR high in the first or outside of he first but I have to say I would not be upset if he was the selection at 24. I do not think receiver is a must for us and I as well would have no problem with a NT type DT or CB, however, I would not mind the Doctson selection at all.
What do you draft junkies think?
Did you have like 30,000 posts at Bengals.com forum? I think i heavily disliked you haha. However i agree with you here (cringe.)
I very much like Josh Doctson, however i think he is mentally weak. He gave up a full ride scholarship because he was homesick http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/03/31/nfl-draft-2016-josh-doctson-tcu-wyoming and had no good plan B. He was very fortunate to end up at TCU. Plus this articlle makes me think that if he starts off badly, or gets hurt (knock on wood) it could easily negatively alter his career.
Plus I don't see how he gets past the Vikings. He is the perfect fit for them, i think they would take him over any other WR, though i wouldnt be too surprised if they took treadwell. If you really want Doctson the only way would be if someone the Vikings could not possibly pass up on is there (though barring it being an OT we would prefer they fall to us).
Plus if you check Doctson's twitter account he is "favoriting" almost exclusively vikings fans tweets, making me think he thinks he is going to the vikings.
