All 3 were rated higher than Ross, and the Bengals selected John Ross. That pick was a "I'm in love with this guy" pick.

It would not have mattered if Solomon Thomas, Leonard Fournette, Or Mike Williams was still on the board, the Bengals were going to take John Ross the whole time.

I'm still OK with the pick. I'm not saying that he's not going to be a good fit here in Cincy. I'm just saying that there were better talents available at 9.

I think you are giving too much credit to draft experts. You are wrong, Ross was the Bengals BPA at 9 or they would have drafted the media's pick which BTW other teams also passed on as these guys were not picked #10, #11 or #12 in the draft, some fell 10 spots so maybe the media and you had it wrong.

The Bengals don't consult fans or the media when putting their board together. Their board, BPA in their eyes, if not they don't draft him
