John Ross WR

[CalPolyTechnique]

I guess you're blind fool who doesn't know what he's watching. Washington o line has been dominated multiple times this year but that did not stop him from producing. Now answer my question, is 5 receptions for 28 yards getting shut down or not?

Lol, against who? Name them.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Generally speaking. I see two smallish receivers that rely on speed and quickness. I wonder if their game is more suited for the college game. I realize Ross is a bit bigger, but still on the smallish side. Will his game translate better than Austin's who in my opinion has been having a so so career so far.

Size-wise, Ross has a much bigger frame (relatively speaking) than Austin who measured out at 5'8 1/4" 174 lbs. I'd wager good money Ross measures out officially between 5'10-11" and in the high 180s or low 190s....he's much closer to Brandin Cooks than he is DeSean Jackson in terms of frame/stature.

Austin has been a disappointment as a receiver, though it's not unreasonable to say the Rams haven't had a semblance of a consistent passing attack for years, nor a reliable QB. Even with that said, I don't think Austin is anything more than a slot receiver because he has issues beating the press on the outside. I don't see the same issue with Ross.

For those wanting to invest a high pick on a LB, is it because of lack of faith that Smith will ever recover?

Zack Cunningham is just a talent you just don't pass up

He won't be available so it doesn't matter

Cunningham reminds me of Daryl Washington outta TCU (and currently suspended).

Ross is a baller...

 

[VICTOR710]

Ross as our new KR/PR
4th receiver ?

 

[stilltheguru88]

I've done a 180. This is who I want now. Teams wouldn't know what to do. Double Dez? Double Ross? Stack the box?

 

[stilltheguru88]

How does he compare with Tavon Austin?

He doesn't. He's closer to Odell Beckham than Austin.

Ah, Ross shineth his light on thou?

Dude is a baller.

Yea. His acceleration is beastly. I think he'll be there at 28 same way Desean dropped low

 

[The Realist]

Unless he gets a major injury, arrested or fails a drug test he won't be there. Zero chance.

Dak doesn't throw deep enough to justify a pick like this in the first round

Does that change? Maybe...but if it doesn't, could be a wasted pick

I thought so too but with playaction and bringing a safety up I don't know.

 

[Sydla]

I think he is likely the 2nd WR off the board

I don't know if it's "Likely". Williams for sure and Davis could go higher as well, especially if the recent ankle injury heals enough where he can perform workouts.

 

[Sydla]

Lol, so he got shut down not the Huskies offensive line?

True but he got smothered pretty good though by the Bama secondary. They did a great job on him even when Washington was trying to figure out ways to get the ball in his hands early. They took Ross out of the game.

 

[Sydla]

And I wouldn't hate the move if they took Ross but while I am a BPA guy, the idea that we wouldn't use some of our high picks on defense would depress me a bit.

 

[Sydla]

Not sure about others, but I can think of one game - USC. UW rushed for 17 yards that game and Browning was under duress much of that game. Ross still had 150 yards receiving on 8 catches and 1 TD, a 70 yard TD.

Let's be real, those bama corners never really get tested because if that defense

I am thinking a lot of DEs and DBs will be ahead of him on our draft board.
