I watched some Ross tape. All he has is speed?
He runs decent-to-good routes, he head fakes people out like Allen Iverson does. And he didn't do it against a bunch of nobodies, he did it against a first round pick this year. He needs to work on some things, he needs to add some weight and a bit more strength and add some polish, but every rookie needs work.
I mean, I'm not super hyped on Ross either, but AJ needs help and our offense needs speed. Ross is the fastest player in football and he's already a decent route runner. It ain't a rated D pick man. Bengals definitely wasn't drafting CB or a Safety and the DL guy has degenerative arthritis in his shoulders. I'd have been excited with Foster at 9 too, or OJ Howard, but I guess they are happy with Kroft and the other guy as back ups right now.
I don't know if I like Mixon, but I definitely didn't like Cook. Off field concerns are why I don't like either player, but I think Mixon is the lesser of the 2 evils and I get why they drafted him. First round talent, ton of value at the spot and was even able to trade down to get the guy, Mixon can add a lot of talent to the RB position and the Bengals look like they are trying to win this year with an easier schedule to boot.
We didn't really try to address OL in this draft. I'm actually happy we didn't. There really wasn't a whole lot of guys that could have immediately helped the issue this year-which the line needs help RIGHT NOW. I'd rather wait and try to draft another OL when the pool is stronger. Guess our coaches will have to teach them how to run block better so Andy can get more time to throw. Andre should help with that, and maybe add another guy when cuts come.
