The bengals see what Antonio Brown brings to Pittsburgh. The two are similar in stature, Ross runs great routes and is even faster than AB. They see what it takes to guard AB and how he helps everyone else on the field with him. They know it all too well. Do they see john Ross as their eventual AB? Time will tell.
What I know for sure is if the pass rusher they want is not there, I hope they don't reach for one they are not totally sold on. If they choose Ross at 9, I certainly won't be mad. And if they trade back and still get Ross I'll be ecstatic. Take a good DE in the second and fill that need then. (Hopefully Willis)
Feel the exact same way. We are on the same page unlike Jpoore who is obviously biased for Mike Williams.
I say what i like about Mike Williams and don't say... Mike Williams is just a big receiver who goes up for the ball well..
Which would not tell the whole story about Mike Williams who would be a good pick IMO.
John Ross is not just speed, he is a good route runner, has good hands and has an insane pass/TD rate. INSANE.
He is not just the go route, this is unfair when speaking of John Ross.
Would absolutely love it if we traded back and got JR and another pick, probably would love it more than any other 1st round scenario.
But like you said, wouldn't be mad with Ross at 9. Or Mike Williams for that matter.
