We already have one game changer at wide reciver, and enough game changers on the offense as a whole. I'm convinced that this offense can be competitive enough (as long as Jason continues to progress in the manner that he has) to win a championship. Our defense is nowhere close to being where they need to be, so I think we HAVE to go defense. Ginn is also good on specials, but that was another one of our few bright spots, so I really don't see much room for him. Just my opinion though.

The real value I feel and why we would pick him is if he could be moved to CB, if he could be a shutdown CB, and that is IF, then is he a guy we should target knowing how valuable and rare shutdown CB's are?

Even the "shutdown" corners struggle when the quarterback has all day to throw. Coupled with the fact that Ginn didn't even play corner throughout most of his time at Ohio St., I'd say this would be a bad idea.

A persistant pass rush and the ability to collapse the pocket will help a defense more than a strong secondary without a decent D-line.

Assuming he isn't asking for anything astronomical, Nate Clements, a healthy Springs, Sean Taylor, and Carlos Rogers will look a whole lot better when they can depend on a front four who can rattle the quarterback.
