I am just changing out ONE pick for conversation.
Instead of having John Ross on the roster we would have Deshaun Watson.
To your point though, the O-line has to be Upgraded.
The first O-lineman to go last Draft was with pick #20. Tackle Garett Bolles to the Broncos.
A case could be made that trading down for picks and taking an O-lineman may have been a better move than Drafting John Ross who is a receiver. The Bengals probably could have gotten a lot for that 9th overall pick in a trade down. I would have preferred that to the John Ross pick although Ross still has the potential to have an impact.
Based on what you said, the O-line should have been the priority and not a QB or wide receiver.
Is it safe to say then that you would have preferred a Trade Down for picks and Draft some offensive lineman versus taking receiver John Ross ?
We could have gotten Buffalo's deal with the Chiefs for 1st round pick #27 and 3rd round pick #91 plus a 1st rounder in 2018.
I'm starting to like that Trade Down deal the more I think of it, maybe even better than taking Ross or Watson at pick #9.
Has me rethinking some..
