Calvin Johnson entering NFL draft

Rexi · 01-09-2007, 07:53 PM

I can't imagine anyone passing on Calvin Johnson, that man will be insane in the pros. Except the Cardinals I guess...

Still, the team that takes him probably could have taken a player much more conducive to a teams success...and thats assuming that Johnson is everything we expect him to be at the NFL level. It possibly could be far, far worse.

Trade partner???? If he's there we need to draft him. Plain and simple.

Really? You think we should take Calvin Johnson in place of our other, arguably more pressing, needs?

I would draft him in a heartbeat if he is sitting there. Best player on the board hands down. I watch a lot of college and this guy is a can't miss. Plus he's not an asshole like TO. He comes from a good family and keeps his mouth shut. CJ is a TD machine. He's a difference maker in the red zone and we need to score more points. Because of his size and speed he will cause all kinds of problems for the defense. Can you imagine the PI's he would draw? I know our defense sucks but you can't pass on a guy like this. But he'll be long gone by the 6th pick.

Jesus. The last thing our team needs is a WR. Another weapon for our offense to use so we can score 40 a game to keep up with our shitty ass defense? A WR is a retarded idea. Next.

I can't see Tampa or Cincy taking him. They seem to be more prudent drafters and like taking the more sure things like linemen and so forth. Falcons seem like a solid idea.

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

BigSKINBauer · 01-08-2007, 02:30 PM

Good he is out of the ACC

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, 02:56 PM

I hope we just use the stupid pick

That huge DT Alan Branch declared today. It's on espn. We might be able to use him and he is predicted to be there.

FRPLG · 01-08-2007, 11:35 PM

HOF ability? Wow.

FRPLG · 01-08-2007, 11:38 PM

So if he is available at 6 what were the other 5 teams thinking when they passed on him. Bunch of idiots I guess.

I'd say you are potentially WAY over-valuing him. WRs are bust magnets and even the best of them usually have adjustment periods.

We can pass and I could almost guarnatee that we will if given the opportunity.
