Game Thread: NFL 2017 Draft

Could work though..... Maybe Marvin finally realized that he should have picked DeShaun Jackson rather than Jerome Simpson.

Anytime that you can grab an undersized guy with bad knees in the top 10, I think you need to pull the trigger.

17 tds in a big time conference and the fastest 40 time in the history of the combine.

I'm on board.

 

[cincygrad]

Devil's advocate -- We could have just paid Marvin Jones and not needed a speed guy opposite of AJ.

Well, as I said.... I'm always wrong.

I do like the idea of going for special talent for once. If it works, he takes all sorts of pressure off a suspect line.

they tried.
Remember he wanted a bigger role in the offense

I'm happy with this pick. Got to get some speed on the outside.

Plus if you watch videos of him, he's always waiting on the ball after he flies by the DB. He is Andy Dalton ready.

If he's healthy the worst case scenario is he's a Mike Wallace like deep threat.

The upside is DeSean Jackson.

Either way this is going to take a ton of pressure off AJ.

LOL! I just watched his highlight film on youtube..... I couldn't see his speed because he was basically catching punts from his qb. Good call on Dalton.

 

[cincygrad]

Another potential upside is that this might make Boyd even better. You'd figure he would have a lot of room to work with that type of speed and talent on the outside.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Ross will be great for the 5 games a year he is healthy.

 

[futballiscool]

3 WRs in the top 10... 3.5 if you count McCaffrey. Can't see another for at least 30 picks.

Maybe he can work with Eifert on a plan to get injured at different times of the year?

Nope. Ross just had Shoulder surgery. He is actually hurt as we speak.

 

[ckhokie]

Is that 3 straight 1st round picks with ACLs?

I literally can't keep our injured 1st rounders straight at this point.

 

[cincygrad]

Nope. Ross just had Shoulder surgery. He is actually hurt as we speak.

So, I guess he can't be a gunner on special teams like the rest of our first rounders. Damn.

 

[futballiscool]

I don't think a shoulder injury is an issue for a WR.

He ran a 4.2 40. The knee is OK.

He's fragile and will miss some games but he'll change the offense .

[ckhokie]

If there's anyone who can see him through an injury, it's a Cincinnati sports franchise's medical staff.

 

[futballiscool]

As long as Foster wasn't masking a PED I'd trade back into the late 1st round for him.
