Yeah the Bengals are not “significantly worse”. They actually made a big jump at LT. Orlando is an average level LT that struggles against speed rushers, but he’s way better than Jonah Williams.

Jonah Williams is basically Lucas Niang. He’s always hurt. Always. He’s missing games all the time.

Simply having a capable LT that isn’t a broke dick is an upgrade for them.

If he could do HALF of that here, he'll finish with just under 5 TD's here. Passing volume is going to make a world of difference in evaluating guys like him.

Im excited what he can do with Mahomes throwing him the ball.

The advanced metrics aren't pretty either. I dunno. I may be way off.

He's got cool hair. Big red snake-like things. Dead locks is what I believe the cool kids call them. They'll look even better in a red Chiefs uniform.

As for his football ability, here's one thing I know from fantasy football last year. There were several times I thought Darius Slayton was in a smash matchup, only to have James and Hodgins take Slayton's receptions, yardage, and TDs. And that was with Danny Dimes. Have to imagine James would get a nice bump in production with a much much better QB throwing to him and with Reid's scheming. Could see 750 yds and 7-8 TDs.

Solid pickup. I give it a B+

Baldwin was a little bigger, and a lot more clumsy and plodding in his movement. Ross is/was? a more agile athlete, at least on YouTube.

I was talking about Quintin Johnson, sorry if I didn't clarify. My fault.

Yes they do, see one Trey Smith, 1st or 2nd round talent picked in the 6th. Ross wasn't drafted due to the injury to his foot. :facepalm:

While draft position is one indicator of talent, you can't say it's the sole indicator. If that were true, Tim Tebow and Johnny Manzel should be lighting up the NFL and making $50M per year. How about Deron Cherry? I'd say he was pretty good. Emmitt Thomas? Priest Holmes? By your standard, all UDFA JAGs.

If Justyn Ross has fully recovered and gives us 500+ yards and 6 TDs, you should send Veach Joe's KC every week for a year. Make sure you send enough for Andy to grab a rib or 6.

Does Veach think multiple WR’s will fall to his range? Everything I’ve seen and heard suggests that Veach is a big fan of Quentin Johnston.

That makes a lot of sense to me bc after JSN he seems to stand out with different features than Flowers, Hyatt and Addison.

Hyatt is my favorite fit of the top guys but I guess Veach doesn’t feel the same way

I'm not sold that JSN is the best of the group. Flowers looks better to me, for one.

Is this supposition on your part or is there actually some indicator as to which way Veach is thinking? If he's making his choices obvious it's a total departure from past drafts.

I’m not entirely sold that the Ross duo can’t push higher in the depth chart

If this was Madden, and you basically didn’t have t worry about health, absolutely. The Ross’ would easily be able to move up the ladder based entirely on their relative skills/talents. Problem is, its not a video game.

Haha I sign John Ross every single god damn time I play, why? 1500 and 20.

Good I hope the rest of the league feels that way because I see at least 4 guys who could be day 1 starters here.
