Welp if you need evidence that a fast 40 time rarely translates to NFL relevance:

Ross (9th pick) & Peters (18th pick)…. Two former first round draft picks released about 24 hours apart in November. NOVEMBER. Guessing that’s never happened before.

Always remember that the Bengals took him one pick before KC took Mahomes. So thankful the Bengals blew that pick.

Taken one pick BEFORE Mahomes.

To be fair everyone who had picks 1 through 9 blew it in that draft.

I have to give credit to Cleveland though. While they should have in retrospect probably taken Mahomes there is a good chance that he would not be as good as he is now playing for Hue Jackson or Stefanski. Garrett is very good and will be a first ballot HOF player, so at least they can hang their hat on that vs a Bengals team who took Ross.

A gold jacket is nice but it just doesn’t shine like a Super Bowl trophy

Ross had 1150 yards and 17 TDs his last year at UW, the year UW played Alabama in the college pllayoffs. My son was going to UW then so I watched a lot of UW footaball then and Ross was definitely a standout player on that team. I agree he was overdrafted though, especially with his injury history.

HUH?

We *ALL*?!?!?!

You are speaking for the other personalities you share a body/mind with but certainly not for CP, right?

I'm fairly certain the majority of the board didn't for a singular minute believe that our WR room was stacked... and certainly not because a guy whose peak year was 506 yards decided to retire. I gotta think most of us knew our WR room was dogshit regardless of what Ross did/does.

It’s almost as if Al Davis poked his boney finger out of the grave and said “I’ll take that one “
