But that’s why the KC move was so risky and genius.  Most teams don’t do that.  And obviously, they won the lottery with Mahomes.  

 

Helps when your coachs are Andy Reid and Matt Nagy in year 1.  And not... Marvin Lewis and company.

Really dumb of them to draft him that high. I seem to remember him injuring himself on one of his 40 yard dash attempts. He had injury bust written all over him, in my opinion.

 

But he destroyed our team in preseason. He clearly has potential, and for a late round pick he could provide some upside. Just has to get and stay healthy.

 

Sounds like Foster before he put things together.

 

Yeah - Tyreke hill is incredibly fast but he's also good at... catching passes.

This makes a ton of sense, if you can grab him for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. I never understood pairing the fastest guy in the NFL with noodle armed Andy Dalton. This would be an excellent fit for us.

 

Cant agree giving up a Day 2 pick for him...

 

This is a deep WR class and there will still be quality left at the top of the 3rd..

Tony Pauline?  The guy is about as credible as Dunkirk Don

?

 

I can link all the reports on this if you want from PFT, ESPN, Ian rapaport, etc but Pauline had it first. He’s a draft analyst for SI.

He's an interesting prospect but it depends on how we feel on McKenzie. If they like him potentially long term , that gives us 2 legit speedsters with Foster/McKenzie , Zay isn't too shabby himself Speed wise. If they like McKenzie as much as I think they do, I don't see much interest

Long article from The Athletic, but it includes an excerpt regarding John Ross.

 

 

I think he's worth a flier with a Day 3 pick at least. I'd guess we're talking about a 5th and I'd be fine committing to that.

Cool article. Made me think of Zay Jones , he definitely needs to keep improving but showed clear improvement and put up decent numbers for this offense, I think he can have a breakout year 3 , I'm a rare Zay optimist..

I mean, the Bengals would be idiots to do that but why not.  I don’t get why teams look to move sunken costs for crappy draft picks.  Teams overrate lower draft picks.  

Right. We could probably get a 5th for Zay, but meh.

I'd rather have an aging AJ Green or up and coming Tyler Boyd all things considered. 

No offense, but I think we'd all prefer Green or Boyd.

 

The reason Ross is available is because he's got warts. The great GM's pick and choose the correct diamonds in the rough.

Whoa. That's a hefty price tag. The Bills shouldn't offer more than a 4th or 5th for a bust WR who's team is trying to ship him out.
