Then, in year 2 (22 receptions for 225 yards and 2 TD's) some said Boyd he was a bust.

Look around in here, our 2nd year WR Ross had 7 TD's in 2018 and many want him cut or traded. They are calling him a bust. He may not produce, but I want to see how he does in 2019. 

Boyd;s 1st 2 years, he had 76 catches for 828 yards, but only 3 TD's. Who saw 2018 and 76 catches (matched his first 2 years total, 1028 yards and 7 TD's coming.

I am hopeful Ross can pull a Boyd in year 3. Time will tell.

Some of that is recency bias.
Michael Thomas was a 2nd rounder in 2016 who had 1100+ yards and 9 TDs in his rookie year and has continued to put up great numbers every season.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, who was a 2nd round pick the same year the Bengals took Ross, put up 900+ yards and 7 TDs his rookie year and exploded last year.
These two 2nd rounders have outperformed their 1st round WR counterparts (so far).

The reality is most rookies (even 1st rounders) don't perform well their first 2-3 years in the league.
