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

Obviously mock drafts were wrong about a lot of players (especially Alabama players) as they always are.
Haason Reddick went 13th to the Cardinals while Reuben Foster (most commonly mocked to us at #9) "fell" to 31st.
Who was right? Mock drafts, or the guys actually doing the real thing?
Well, no, I'm not actually wrong, you aren't actually right. The Bengals may not be right, because no one will know until about 5 years down the road when we see articles about re-picking this draft class and who stuck in the league, who's dominating at there position, and who isn't even active on a roster.
And I think almost every team gets there first round wrong, because they don't know what's going to happen to a player. They look for the players that are at the top of there position, pick a guy that fits a need or bpa and hope they don't go Ryan Leaf on them or get hit by a plane.
That honestly is my opinion about the first round. "hey, that guy's good! Let's draft one of these guys if they are there! Yay, we got'em! OH GOD HERE COMES BILL ROMANOWSKI!"
