WR Calvin Johnson playing RIGHT NOW!

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm an OSU guy, but I must say that there are two guys that I never thought would amount to much on the pro level, but now I think they both have a chance to succeed in the NFL. Those guys are Gonzalez (good call, Leaper) and Troy Smith.

Ginn will make his mark in the pros, but it won't likely be as a #1 receiver.

[RashanGary]

We might come out and win a few meaningless games. If the running game gets going, we could even win a bunch. I doubt that will happen, but I can't imagine we'll lose as many as we did last year. The talent seems so much higher this year.

You never know though. Jags might have no clue what he's doing and Sanders might be a huge step backwards.

I'd be extatic if we only win 4 but I still think we're going to pull 6 out.

I want Ted Ginn, not even necessarily as a receiver but as a returner. Christ that guy is inhumanly fast. Since I don't expect them to be awesome next year, if Ginn continues to grow as the year goes on I wouldn't be against getting him anywhere in the draft.

You probably should have wished that TT had drafted Devin Hester this year then. The Bears grabbed him in the 2nd round and of course he burned the Packers on a TD return. Scouts have compared him to Deion Sanders in the return game, not only about his quickness but his field vision. Has "freakish" ability. He really has no position to play on O or D but will light up the field on Special Teams.

[RashanGary]

Our biggest need is RB and there are a few out there like Leaper said. I'd like either a RB or defense.

I love Calvin Johnson but it looks like he's a top 3 pick and I highly doubt we'll get to pick that high. If we lose this next game, I'll start buying into the hype and maybe get my hopes up.

I try not to be too optimisitic, it just sets me up for disappointment.

That was the comparison that came to mind with Ginn, and I watched youtube videos of both and Ginn appears to bring the same vision and elusiveness with a whole new level of speed. That dude makes everyone look like like marquad manual out there!!

Calvin is the player I have mentioned in past posts that I would love to draft this year, assuming he comes out early. We'll certainly be in position to!

Absolte BEAST.

Regardless of who else is in the 2007 draft this guy should be the #1 pick based on his overall qualities.

High character, hard worker and VIRTUALLY UNSTOPPABLE.

I know I am targeting him in my FFL league to pair with Jennings and Andre Johnson. I wheeled and dealed to get 3 2007 1st Rd. picks in our dynasty draft to use as ammo to move up to #1 if I don't already have it with one of my 3 picks. All other Wr's in 2007 are NOTCHES below him.

I'll take this guy if the Packers take him because THIS is scary:
Driver
Jennings
Calvin Johnson.

TRY AND STOP IT.

Scouts and pundits drool over speed and highlights...but a guy who is fundamentally solid and has a good work ethic is almost certainly going to find success.

Sounds just like......Greg Jennings, huh?

[mission]

Ginn is amazingly fast, but the best receiver in Columbus is Anthony Gonzalez. Ginn merely gets by on speed...but at the next level, he isn't going to run past people as easily and will need to learn how to beat press coverages.

Gonzalez is a perfect example of what some of you have pointed out...lower draft picks who turn out to be great steals. Scouts and pundits drool over speed and highlights...but a guy who is fundamentally solid and has a good work ethic is almost certainly going to find success.

that's what i was saying in another thread. ginn isn't even the best buckeye receiver! gonzalez against texas looked unstoppable all day... and he had to MAKE plays, diving catches, etc... i was really impressed.

i really cant see johnson falling to us... he's too insane and i dont see us ending up as the bottom 2 or 3 in the league. maybe 5-7 but not that high.

and jarrett being a product of the system is a bit crazy. he was a sophomore last year and plays along side a tremendous receiver in steve smith. no one can argue his route running and play making ability ... if he was on a team like tech there would be a lot bigger numbers to get excited about. i guess that argument goes both ways. he's 6'5" and a man-beast too but yeah, id be a bit more wary about a usc receiver than i would a guy from tech.

alright, i'm on the calvin bandwagon after watching the game last night

freak, is the best way to describe him

and he showed he can run after the catch on that last TD, he looked like a taller owens to me on that play

whats not to like? 6'5 235 45 inch verticle, 4.35- 40. they said he was very humble. and the thing that stuck out the most to me is that he went down to south america this offseason to help the poor, and he's going back after the season. he's sounds like a great guy

i love the thought of us being in the redzone and our qb (favre or rodgers) just being able to lob a pass towards him for a sure TD. he's almost a half foot taller then most CB's and he can outjump most guys in the pros

Chan Gailey has said that he loves to work on his craft and is usually one of the last players off the practice field. I really hope we get a chance at him or Peterson. man amongst boys is the perfect description for Calvin.
