Ross was considered a good route runner and he produced. That's why he was taken in round 1 while a guy like Mario Alford went in the 7th round.
Correct. Only 3 of those ten "fastest" were first round picks. Ross, Stalworth, and Heyward-Bay.
Since both Stallworth and Heyward bay had at least some limited success in the NFL it does not look quite as bad for Ross.
