I actually think it's the other way around, but that's cause I don't feel any reason to annoint Johnson the savior just yet. But usually 4-5 receivers carry a legit first round grade, whereas only 1-2 defensive tackles do each year.
I think it's safe to say Johnson is a cut above the average 1st round receiver, but in the grand scheme of things, if you were to give yourself Johnson, and me Robert Meachem or someone, we'd have similar prospects as far as contributing to a team full of veterans. Your prospect would likely be "better", technically, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Too many other important factors go into building a team for me to worry about the difference between Robert Meachem and Calvin Johnson.
