Any VA Tech fans want to comment on Calvin Johnson's ability after the catch? I seem to remember him making some memorable plays against the good ol' Hokies when the met GA Tech last season . . . and that was with Reggie (are you kidding me?) Ball at QB. Still think DLine is the way to go, but man I really can't see why anyone is calling Johnson 'overhyped'. He put up great numbers in college, that is he has done it on the football field, and his workout numbers are out of this world (4.35 40, 43 in vert., 11' 7" broad jump) those numbers equal tremendous explosion . . . this is no Mike Williams folks lets be clear on that.

btw, that was a VERY smooth 4.35, not one of those deals where a guy over runs and ends up falling at the end because he was leaning so far forward.

the thing would be, if you've got moss, CJ, an cooley (with portis), who's the #2 cover? 6'4" CJ with size and speed? portis would have soo much more room to run, and CJ would give you great blocking and have a chance to be as good as he could be (since there would be enough other players to keep defenses from double teaming).

DL is obviously a bigger need, but CJ would make any of the 32 NFL teams better offensively, and he'd probably put up good numbers his first year.

Finally a reasonable man! portis would have a probowl year, because JC would have his choice of weapons......cooley, moss, johnson, randle el, and portis, hell, we can pick up some decent FA to fill the DL,

Of course, the other question (apart from need) is what exactly the Redskins could possibly give up to move up from #6 to #2 (which is a huge jump). Lets not forget (as I know no one has) that the Skins don't have any other first day picks. So we have what? The #6 pick, a first rounder next year, an aging Shawn Springs . . . maybe throw in an autographed Joe Gibbs football, one of the three Vince Lombardi trophies on display at the Park (who needs three, come on, thats just decadent and the Lions haven't won a championship since 1956), a Sonny Jurgensen throw-back jersey, plus Redskins One and maybe we've got a deal . . .
