Back in those days Landry did not just draft football players, he drafted athletes that he could turn into football players...
They say "speed kills"...well, Ginn has some speed...
So does Yamon Figurs, Robert Meachem, Romance Taylor and a few dozen other prospects. I prefer football players, if they have speed to go along with it then great.

OSU is not some small time school...
He sure does but his speed is his only asset. He's not a great route runner, he does not have the greatest hands, he's on the small side, he's not always willing to go over the middle and his blocking leaves something to be desired. He almost sounds like a corner or return specialist which is ironic because his WR's skills lacked so much last year there was talk at Ohio St that he should be playing corner and there is still talk of that now among NFL teams.
No thanks, if were going to spend a 1st on a WR I want a real one. Ginn is the one guy who can make me like Jarrett.

But, yeah, I think the team has other needs...but, it would be good if somehow Ginn ended up in Dallas...
Shoot, there is nothing wrong with Ginn at 22. That's not a bad pick. I'd just not do it with my first round pick. We can get a S or CB with that pick. In fact I'm beginning to think CB is better than S for us unless Nelson falls.
If we get better coverage then the safeties are less important; esp with that vaunted pass rush we've ordered.

Landry also drafted Carl Lewis. Yes, THAT Carl Lewis. The wise part of that move was that he didn't draft him in the 1st round. Speed is NOT the be all end all.

He ran the routes required.
He went over the middle ALL the time.
OSU NEVER considered moving him back to CB except in nickel situations.
And ONE article mentioned the NFL (or blog) using him as CB....as have I....3rd WR/Nickel back/KR/PR/emergency QB..immediate impact on this team...and I said that LAST year.
If all those things you list are true..why would Gossellin list him as the #2 WR prospect in the draft?

One opinion among many. Sorry if I don't agree with you or Goss. I'm not the first and won't be the last.
For the record, he also had Charles Rogers and Mike Williams listed in his top 3.

Tedd Ginn above all is a game changing playmaker, I don't know who some of these guys were watching, but Ginn is already a pretty dangerous WR. He's as exciting to watch with the ball in his hands as anyone IMO.
We definately have the time to let him develop, and we definately could use a big time versitile game breaker/deep threat IMO.
If we pass on Ginn, I'll be almost as sick as when we passed on Moss.

Right. You make a laundry list of what a no talent Ted Ginn is...then want Aaron Ross, the guy he toasted all night long. And it could have been worse had Troy Smith not overthrown Ginn on what would have been a 60 yard TD.
That's...BRILLIANT!

Again, if your opinion was the only one that mattered this would all be different.
Perhaps Ginn should be taken off the board and get ready to draft Demond Williams from Michigan St in the first round cause he shut Ginn down. That's the way it works right?
BRILLIANT!
