Spotto Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 NFL.Com reports. My say- good riddance if they let him walk at the end of this year. It's not about the injuries, he's simply a shit catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thezerawkid Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I mean, I don't think there was much doubt prior to the draft. Getting Higgins at the top of round two spelled this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriZENry Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 So much potential, glad we don’t ain’t waiting for it Dudes made of glass and Burrow probably make him wet his panties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 What kind of comp pick will we get? Or, since its Ross, will we have to give up one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|kennethmw| Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Smart move. If he Blows up with Joe, they'll be able to work out an extension, without having to guarantee another year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the team afford 3 high paid receivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of AJ and Ross playing 8 games or less a piece is way higher than them both. “blowing up” this season. It would be wonderful if it happens, but ....

|BlackJesus| Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 The tag on Ross would have cost 15 million. So makes sense not to tag. But an extension still might make sense later for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyBengal Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Smart move. He’s now essentially in a contract year. Put up or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that, each year you hear about all the potential and speed and whatever. His best ability at this point would be availability...gotta stay on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Bengals had to position the team with this move but I still hope he has a hell of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 good riddence... id say thats easily one of the worst first round picks in the last 20 years but. this list has some duds on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 3 of the last 6 on that list suck. Hard to win when you whiff on your first round pick that often. Congrats, Tobin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 sadly something could be learned from the steelres drafts... 9/11 picks are defense and hella linebackers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 The fact is picking a wide receiver high because he is really fast has never been winning strategy. When there are 3 WRs chosen in the 3rd round in the same draft as Ross that all have at least 1900 more receiving yards, you can only call the pick what it was based on position: Complete Bust. BTW, the list of highly drafted guys finally "Getting It" in the NFL after 3 years is an extremely short one. Ross only needs 2200 more receiving yards to catch Warrick.

gupps Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I think a lot of the time the Bengals fell in love with athletic ability instead of being able to actually play football. Hopefully that era is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibor75 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 The Stillers: Take James Washington in round 2 Take JuJu in round 2 Take Martavis Bryant in round 4 Take Emmanuel Sanders in round 3 Take Antonio Brown in round 6 I've leaving out some duds but they weren't taken in round 1. Limas Sweed was the worst and he was taken in round 2. Last 2 Stiller WRs in first round: Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress The Bengals draft in the top 10 and get garbage like Ross. They are playing chess, the Bengals are playing checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that era is over. Unless they hired a pro NFL-level scouting department and didn't tell anyone, it hasn't. They don't have college scouts so they end up relying on measurables and the few schools where the coach/scouts have connections. Coaching the Senior Bowl this year was a big help but most of the time they're drafting at a significant disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that hard. It does take a lot of time though. I would rather have an actual coach do it than a scout, but there are only so many hours in a day.
