Calvin Johnson to enter NFL draft - Yahoo! News

I know, we have enough wide receivers, but have you seen this guy play? He's gonna be nasty in the pros.

If he's there at #6, I can't think of a more perfect trade partner than the Falcons. They need a WR who can catch, some good PR after this past year and anyone who ever lived in GA knows they love their local college players. Trading down to #10 and pick up a 3rd round pick would be perfect.

Yeah, one of the few "sure things" in a long time at the position.

BigSKINBauer · 01-08-2007, 03:30 PM

Good he is out of the ACC

Stellar idea. Alan Branch would probably still be there at #10. So would either Cason or Hall if we wanted to go CB.

Hmm...the real question, then, is who could we trade that 3rd rounder for? Smoot maybe?

I like DRAFTING someone.

SF has a guy with good size and speed at WR who just needs the right system to flourish.. Taylor Jacobs.

I really like that idea. But I've heard, in all seriousness, that the Lions (yes, the Lions) are really interested in drafting CJ.

Part of the contract would require him to change his name to "Calvin Williams".

That sounds like something we would do - draft another running back or something.

I think its when you are picked for the army...

Why would CJ want to join the army? I think we need to read up on this draaafft stuff.

Seriously, watch us trade our pick for a player or something.

Riggo44 · 01-08-2007, 03:56 PM

I hope we just use the stupid pick

Could also look at Jamaal Anderson at that spot

Wow! Good thing they have a GM to make sure that team is getting the right talent.
