John Ross Available

[mattjames2010]

7 TD's

Yeah, seems he might at the very least be something in the red zone. Something we need right now.

 

[mattjames2010]

He ran a fast 40 at the combine
Other than that, nothing

He scored more TDs last year than any of our receivers.

For a player that has really only played 1 full season, could be indictive that furthure progess is imminent.

What's his remaining contract look like ..

5 mil over 2yrs

I didn’t watch any Bengals games last year, but something doesn’t seem right about his stats. 21 catches on 60 targets seems very inefficient. Him having 7 TDs and not a lot of yards seems like he was getting those catches in the RZ(or screen passes? Though that should be high percentage so might not fit) so it would appear he can get open in tight spaces. Was he just a deep threat/RZ target and Dalton couldn’t connect deep?

Either way I’m intrigued by the speed. I don’t think a late pick would entice them, but a player for player trade might work since we definitely have a couple of change of scenery candidates. Particularly Lewis since Cincy seems to love CBs so much.

I don't know I'm not against it for a late pick. IF this team traded for Tavon Austin I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for Ross.

Zzzzzziiiing!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

This is the time of year when fans treat Day 3 picks like gold.

 

[kskboys]

Ross is a glaring example of why not to draft 40 times.

Lol, he was a top prospect before he stepped on the field in Indy for the Combine.

 

[OmerV]

We did give up a pick for Austin

DID is the key word. We are in the present now, and now we wouldn’t have to give up a draft pick now for Austin but we would for Ross.

Yeah, I looked that up earlier. Pretty eye popping. 4.22 I believe. But speed alone doesn’t make a good receiver. If he had done anything in his 2 years in the NFL I would be intrigued, but he really hasn’t.

 

[HappyOnions]

I mean, why not?

If the price is right, a trio of Cooper, Gallup, and Ross could really do some damage.

If he's so good.....?

Bold prediction - New England picks him up for like a 3rd. They've loved dealing picks for players in recent years, and 4.3 clearout guy who can't play football are a Bill Belichick staple (Donte Stallworth, Phillip Dorsett, Aaron Dobson, Brandin Cooks is like the rich man's version).

It’s incredibly bold to predict they will give up a 3rd for a guy with 210 yards in 2 seasons. Tom Brady would take one look at the 36% completion % and nix the deal.

WRs are worth a pretty penny these days. If half a season of Golden Tate is worth a 3rd, why can't two years of Ross be worth that?

He’s been injured playing in only 16 total games in two seasons so that is a legitimate concern, but as I said initially I wouldn’t blink twice giving up a 5th for him.

 

[charron]

How's his route running? Why such a horrid catch rate?

 

[Kaiser]

Because Golden Tate had averaged 93 catches a year for the previous four seasons. Ross has 21 catches in 2 years. On 60 targets.
