Hobson - John Ross out "a couple weeks"

Yet it had nothing to do with him. Like him and his skill set. Just thought a dominant pass rusher or OL was needed more.

Like the kid and think he could be great if not injury prone. Which the jury is still out on that for me.

But in the camp of it is getting tiresome not getting our early round picks on the field as well.

It certainly was a nice thing when AJ and Dalton came right in and played and made many on here sport an ugly new sig. So it can be a good thing.

Plus in the one that says Bengals out two weeks usually means more and sometimes much more. Hope this is not the case.

And did we really compare the 166th pick in the draft (Marvin Jones) expectations to the #9 overall selection ? Two different levels of expectations in my book.

But was a great comparison about Tyler Eifert and Marvin Jones durability. It was kind of an eye opener somewhat.

Wish the kid well and his skill sets could really help us out immediately even as a decoy.

Will finish by saying that believe Mixon is the top prize out of this draft. But Ross is right behind him.

Agreed WR was not as much of a need as DL/OL, but Ross was BPA over the OL/DL players available at 9, so I understand the selection.

What irks me is that the Bengals should have known the OL class was weak and should have tagged Whitworth to avoid any potential scenario where he would leave.
