You mean you think he'll be out of the league after 3 years and twenty something catches? Come on...

Seriously, he is gonna be a monster in Detroit. With Roy Williams lining up opposite him in Mike Martz's system, he's gonna be an All-Pro barring some freak injury...

Ginn has the potential to have a Joey Galloway career. Galloway isn't an "over-the-middle" guy, either, but he's done pretty good in the NFL. Ginn doesn't have to be the #1 receiver to live up to the hype. He just needs to score 10 or so TD's a year, which we know he can do with just a few touches.

No, Calvin Johnson probably won't flame out as bad as Charles Rogers, but I did like Rogers better out of college.

What a confusing last 6 mos. for some Buckeyes, if I told you Dec.3 , Wolfe would be drafted before the Heisman trophy winner I would've been accused of being high. Now both Troy and Antonio are available on Day 2. The saving grace is expectations now for both are low, its up to them what happens fromn here. That night in Glendale hurt them more than Anthony. Busts, Overated or Underated who knows? I do know Troy was one of tOSU's best QBs and Antonio was a good college back. Good Luck to both!

I can't see how that night hurt Pittman? It definitely hurt Troy a lot, but Pittman was actually pretty productive when he had the ball.
I honestly can't think of why Pittman is rated so lowly... other than that maybe all the scouts think he was just sliding by because his teamates were great? I don't know where they'd really get that idea, because he was always clutch... but whatever.
He's the first RB we've had since Pepe that I've really really liked.

Bust - Alan Branch

Sleeper - Zabransky free agent at Houston. Also liked someone's pick of Tony Hunt from PSU. I thought he looked as good as Pittman, at least against us. He can have a Chester Taylor type of career. 3d sleeper: Troy Smith.

Bust-JaMarcus, Brady Quinn, Brandon Jackson-his arms will fall off-two surgically reconstructed shoulders

Sleepers-Leon Hall-he will be a solid CB-Ginn torching was atypical-most WRs do not have that kind of speed, Allen Barbe-OT-some Missouri direction school, Doug Free-OT N. Ill, Trent Edwards QB Stanford

Since Jarrett ran a slow 40 time, what's his excuse for the Rose Bowl?

This is the NFL. Most WRs have either size, speed, or both. If Hall can't handle that, he'll be a big time bust.

Cant wait for the last game of the year when Teddy burns him again.

I like the Stanton pick as a sleeper. I too think Jamarcus is bust.

Calvin Johnson is amazing. No bust there, but if he doesnt score 10 TD's this year people will say he's a bust.

Sleeper- Roy Hall. I think Indy could use him like Tony Gonzales. If he's willing to do the blocking needed to play tight end, he could be an all pro there with Peyton Manning and friends.

Your prediction is that Johnson will have two season ending injuries in his first two years? Rogers did more in college because he had a decent QB throwing the ball to him and there were other players on the MSU team the defense had to cover. Saying you watched Calvin Johnson play and weren't impressed is about as retarded as licking trees. The guy was able to dominate games from the WR position and make catches with 3 people covering him....not just 3 people in the area, but 3 people who were actually assigned to stopping him from getting the ball when they KNEW the ball was coming to him.

You should have passed it around man, you're brain's all fuzzy.
