The NFL Draft saw a couple of big names slip down the draft board and one particular name went from supposedly having a first-round grade to sliding to the fifth round and the 164th pick in the draft. With that pick, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, thus ending his epic free fall down the draft board.
While the Bengals caught him in the fifth round, the question was how well would fans receive him once word of his selection reached them on social media?
And here's a text from Bengals OC Hue Jackson on AJ McCarron: "He's a winner. Has all the QB traits you want."

Now, THAT is a value pick. I’ll give it until October for Bengals fans to start calling for McCcarron.

If you really wanted to challenge Andy Dalton in Cincy, you're not doing it by taking McCarron in the 5th round.
