I don't. I get a bad feeling about Ted Ginn Jr. There's just something that's nagging me about him and I can't place it.

I'd rather have Meachem or Jarrett.

Don't you like looking at the BACKSIDE of Ginn's jersey as he is flying down the field for a TD?

I recall Buddy Ryan did not like Chris Carter because all he could do was score TD's.

Same here. It's not based on anything he did on the field, it's just this gut feeling telling me it'd be a bad idea. If we draft him and I'm wrong, I'll be happy and gladly admit I was a fool, but if we draft him and I'm right I just might throw up.

Glad I'm not the only one. I agree if it works out it'd be awesome. But you're right it's just a gut feeling. At the same time if we pass on him and he turns in to a great one I'll be sick too.

That is the scary part--passing on this diamond in the rough

Ginn I could see being a joey galloway type WR very good but not great maybe a #1.5 receiver not true number 1 but a very good #2

Watching the NFLnets Jimmy Johnson program the other day and remembering what Kelvin Martin brought to that team i couldn't help but think if Ginn. If we take him at #22 you'd like more production at WR than Martin brought, but guys like Martin and Ginn can change a game in seconds. He would add a dimension we don't have. This team is pretty loaded with talent and if there's a year we might want to gamble on a guy with special skills, this might be the year?

That's the only reason I would not find myself trying to committ suicide with a dull knife. Instead I would just get drunk fast. My one hope is that Ginn is gone before 22 and I don't have to worry about it.

I think the Ginn pick makes sense for this year. He won't be asked to start, and can learn how to better his route-running and the nuances of the WR position. It also give him some time to put on some extra muscle, which never hurts.

At the same time, he'll be the primary KR/PR, and that should help him get acclimated to the speed of the NFL game pretty quickly.

The problem comes down the line. I'm not so sure he can be a #1 guy in the league, and we already have a solid #2 young guy in Crayton.

In order i would like

1. Meachem
2. Ginn
3. Jarrett
4. Bowe
5. best CB/S available

Jarrett shouldn't even be on that list. He is a #4 rounder at best in my book.

Is that a joke?

what reasoning do you have to suggest that Jarrett is not worth a first let alone 2nd or 3rd round pick!?

Ginn is a game changer! His speed alone makes other teams respect the deep throw and opens up underneath routes or deep passes on the other side. Ginn should be the 2nd receiver chosen. He's proven his game changing ability in top competition in college.

Other receivers are good but can any of them change the game in a second like Ginn? No!

If I were to tell this board Ginn was going to fall all the way to 22 last yr, people would think I am crazy. What changed? A few months of boredom and constantly over analysing the obvious.

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner

no reason to get greedy or stupid on this pick if Ginn is there we snatch him he was being projected as a top ten lock and all of a sudden he possibly is in our laps lets not blink.

People are a little concerned about his size but Marvin Harrison and Isaac Bruce are both 6'0" and 185ish and they've help up. If he comes in, works hard to get stronger and run better routes while he returns punts he should be OK in a year or so.

Wow, a year ago this time Ginn was border line 1st round. Take a look back. There were doubts if he could ever be a true college receiver and people were still debating if we was better suited to play corner.
