You may want to re-think that. For sure you would have Johnson in on passing downs, but he would attacking the defense 5 (10?) times more than blocking. You don't pick an RB with pass catching skills like that and not use him. Plus...and this is important...his coach said he missed only TWO blocking assignments in 3 years in college. He will stick his nose in there, he's just not someone you would ever use as a lead blocker.

However, I probably would not take CJ in Rd 1...just seems too high to me.

I'd go with that too...although I may prefer one of the other WRs if possible. I mostly only saw Manningham catching the deep ball and not much else. I think a guy with his size and with only average or below average speed needs to be more of a technition. It does say something for Chad Henning at QB though.
