PFF agrees with me, giving the following rates to each over the past two years:

Ross:
2018 - 49.4 (50.6 receiving, 52.1 rushing)
2019 - 63.0 (64.2 receiving, 47.0 rushing)

Price:
2018 - 49.4 (66.0 pass block, 48.9 run block)
2019 - 41.8 (26.1 pass block, 53.9 run block)

With that said, Ross was overdrafted at 9 overall and Price was overdrafted at 21 overall. The Bengals should have traded back some if they really wanted them. But they panicked on both Ross and Price because other players at those positions went sooner than they expected.

For as frustrating as this organization has been, they haven't selected 1st overall since 2003, so it could be a REALLY long time since they get this opportunity again. Take advantage of getting your choice of player without having to spend draft capital to do so.

Without question. Ross at least shows some ability when he plays. If I had to describe Billy Price as a food, I'd go with microwaved mashed potatoes.
