Do you take him at 22? Are the field position and explosive returns enough to justify that spot, with the hopes that his raw talent can be developed into a decent WR?

I wouldn't complain if we took Ginn at #22 although I do think there would be better WRs available at that point. That's strictly considering him as a WR though, when you throw in a guarantee like "He'll produce 80% of what Devin Hester did" then I really don't know how any one could complain. Even if Ginn was a WR who sat around 500 yards and 3 TDs every season he would be able to add a couple more return TDs per year and greatly shorten the field that the offense had to work down.
While you can't make a guarantee like you're suggesting in this scenario I do think that, strictly based on potential, Ginn would be an ok pick at 22.
