ochothegreat Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Everyone thinks the defense is the problem! I say the lack of offense and explosive playmaker. So i say Ross is the answer. He can stretch the field and take pressure off A.J. Sent from my LGLS992 using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 5 surgeries in 2 years 4 of them on his legs is a huge concern for john ross.Sent from my 2PYB2 using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochothegreat Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I agree with you on past injuries But, Williams does not have 4.2 speed! The bengals like to throw a quick 2 yrd pass to their WR to let them create something. So i think Ross is perfect for that.Sent from my LGLS992 using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Ross isn't the top of my board, but he is on my short list and the only WR I would want in 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to take the credit but I said something to that effect on here. He can runrealfast but can he catch the ball? I compared him to Fast Eddie Brown who ranrealfast but too many times did not catch the ball. I'm not sold on him but I am well aware that Mike Brown creams his jeans over wide receivers. I think if Mike Williams is there, he's a Bengal but would not be at all surprised if the took Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, all jokes aside Ross has a unique skill set and I think he's got good hands. I've said for a while our team lacks any type of speed that other teams have to worry about and this guy would fix that immediately. With that being said, I don't think reciever is a weakness. If you look at what teams like Seattle and NE do, they just have multiple WR options, no one great on the outside. OJ presents a receiving threat that can also help us in the running game (he's a good blocker) and in the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBengal Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 If teams thought that Davis and/or Williams were better prospects before the combine then why should Ross running a 4.22 change anything? Ross had that same speed during the season and didn't look as good on film as Davis or Williams. All the combine did was confirm that Ross is real fast. Everyone already knew that. Boosting his grade based on that confirmation is double counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochothegreat Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Look Ross speed will make the safety play deeper.

happyrid Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Personally, I'm on board with WR at 9. Seems like the best combination of value and team need (unless Solomon Thomas or maybe one of the Safeties falls). I don't have a real strong take on which WR I like the best yet. The big unknown on Ross is the doctor reports and how likely they think future injuries would be. If the doctors give thumbs up, I think he's a great pick. He is a heck of a route runner and very good after the catch. I was impressed that he scored 12 touchdowns inside the red zone in 2016. That's pretty strong evidence that he's not just a deep threat and I've seen comparisons to Antonio Brown, Amari Cooper and Desean Jackson who have all been impactful players worthy of top 10 selection. Corey Davis would probably leap to the top of my list if he is able to run before the draft and can run a sub-4.5. It's hard to tell on tape just how fast he really is, especially matched up against mostly MAC opponents. Seems like a very good all-around receiver and good guy too. But in terms of bang for the buck at #9, I'd want a confirmed time that showed he has the speed to threaten NFL corners deep. I like Mike Williams quite a bit as a player and think he's a pretty safe choice. He's proven it in big spots against top competition and should be a good NFL player in the mold of Deandre Hopkins. I just worry about his value to the Bengals specifically. Boyd is already here as the underneath and over the middle guy. Eifert is already here as the jump ball red zone guy. AJ does a little bit of everything, all at a high level. I've always felt like the offense's best chance of going to that next level is getting a bona fide deep threat across from AJ and I don't think Williams is that guy.
