Yea, your probably wrong.
What wins the big game??? BIG D, where we need the MOST help!
If I had to guess we would be trading down....more picks. Not the other way around.
This source is CRAP. Don't Believe!

I have to disagree with being wrong ~That much fire power on offense we would be virtually unstoppable... Plus there is always june 1st cuts to make changes on D. But the way the cards are stacked right now we will draft defense.

The thought of a Portis, Betts, Moss, Cooley, Randle el, And Johnson plus the young arm of Campbell that would scare anyone in the NFL Period. He is the new age Art Monk..., what we've been missing

I agree, that would be sick. But if our defense performs like it did this past season we won't go anywhere again. We need D-lineman as badly as any team in the league. I think our offense will be just fine with or without CJ.

Wrong about what?

That was my point, how else are you gonna get CJ .....the draft.?
Do you really believe we will draft up? No, I don't think so.
Do you believe CJ is gonna be there at #6 if we don't move at all? Not.
Look at the source it's PFT,......it would be great to get this guy.
However, I don't see the SKINS going up in the draft. Do you?? we need more picks in the draft.

It seems like every year there's a WR/TE whose workout makes everybody freak out like this...

2007 - Calvin Johnson
2006 - Vernon Davis
2005 - Braylon Edwards
2004 - Larry Fitzgerald / Kellen Winslow Jr
2003 - Charles Rogers / Andre Johnson

And for every Larry Fitz, Andre Johnson or Roy Williams there are plenty players like Charles Rogers, Mike Williams, Bryant Johnson, Ashlie Lelie, David Terrell, Koren Robinson, Rod Gardner, Peter Warrick, David Boston, Michael Westbrook or Desmond Howard who are high 1st round picks that have been busts or have had disappointing careers.

If you could go back to 1996 and have the Jets # 1 overall pick.. would you choose Keyshawn Johnson? Or would you rather have Simeon Rice at 3 Ogden at 4 or a better WR Marvin Harrison at 19... How about Ray Lewis at 26. If you went back in time and told the Jets that Harrison was going to be a better WR then Keyshawn they would have called you a fool.

Back in 2005 it seemed like 75% of Skins fans out there wanted us o draft Mike Williams... (Too bad we weren't talking Shawne Merriman or Demarcus Ware). I hope this year we aren't seduced by the sexy WR at the top of the draft and trade up to pick CJ... Although if he somehow lasts to 6 we HAVE to take him!

Excellent post.

The only thing is you can't coach/develop superior atheleticism so people will always be enamored with it. Your right though it doesn't always pan out.

Yes, good point. Still want CJ, though. I think you have to make good judgments about people and not get enamored with physical ability when it isn't accompanied with a team spirit and a professional approach to playing.

You could say the same thing in reverse about Jerry Rice. People didn't think so much about him because they didn't think he quite had the speed, and he was from a small school. People would have gone to great lengths to have gone back and drafted him afterward.

We will be lucky if he is available even for two number ones anyway. But I think the team has learned from experience and will only make this move if all the indicators about his personality, spirit, and ability look good.

Some good points. In terms of busts it seem WRs are much more suscptible than others. On top of that even good WRs almost always take time to settle in. Very few come in and even make more than an average impact.

[GMScud]

I think this is in the exact same category as JaMarcus Russell rumors: something floated by his agents trying to boost his value. I don't buy for a second.
