Crat92 presents The Calvin Johnson Poll

[724Skinsfan]

If our needs are not at wide receiver but we are considering taking him due to his huge upside then I would think the other five teams would be so inclined to take him just as easily as we would. He won't be there at #6. If he is, I say trade the #6 for more picks.

If it happens, and that's an immensley huge if, I'd want him in the fold unless somebody made a ricky williams type deal for the pick. I understand the dline needs some new young talent but absolutely nothing has shown me that any of the dline guys we would be looking at @ #6 r worth a top 10 pick. they all just seem like they would be late 1st rounders to me whereas Johnson is the kind of wr you only see every few years. With the amount of holes on the d, I'd personally go the Colts route and have a stacked offense and hope that last years defensive let down was a fluke and that the coaches r able to find another golston type player that can be part of the d-line rotation. Johnson just seems like one of the most sure fire picks since Fitzgerald to become an upper echelon players whereas dline has consistently shown is a giant crap shot.

It wasn't a fluke. It was age setting in - nothing more, nothing less. Unless the D-line guys can find a magical way of aging in reverse, it'll be WORSE next season until they draft somebody to do something about it.

Carter = 28
Griffin = 30
Salvae = 32
Daniels = 34

That's not a bad argument there. They're not geezers par se, but It's definitely a position that needs some more paying attention to. I would say that it probably exacerbated the defense in lieu of all the injuries. We can't afford to go without d-line help, period. Good Post.

I agree here. None of these d-linemen look like they are going to be stud's. As far as production goes you would have to go with Gaines Adams.
