Calvin Johnson Declares for Draft

[kastofsna]

the thread title says it all.

 

[Texian]

Beautiful, that moves everybody on the draft board down one.

 

[Mr. White]

I think that Oakland will end up taking him and try to trade Moss. If that doesn't happen, Matt Millen will draft him on principle.

 

[El Tejano]

Oh # 8 pick is looking kind of sweet. There is really no way we can screw that one up.

please- kastofsna screwed it up in another thread- it can be done.

I hope he falls to the second pick just to see what Millen does. Will he be able to resist the urge to take a once in a lifetime WR? Especially when they now need a WR?

i agree- everyone is waiting for that. yes, it's a no-brainer for them to take CJ, but yes, i think they'd perhaps choke and pass on him.

I'm not surprised he declared...

 

[El Tejano]

What is the consensus on this board if by some miracle this guy falls to us?

you take him. period.

I wouldn't mind trading AJ if we have CJ. Moulds and Walter are a must on the team, though.

If Calvin Johnson falls to 8, IMO the sky is falling.

It ain't happening.

 

[beerlover]

there was only an outside chance the Texans would have a shot @ CJ but that was before winning the last two games of the season. any hope that the Texans could steal the best player in the draft picking #8 is dillusional

 

[El Tejano]

Well you have to keep your expectations open.

Hey if Detroit will pass on him, no telling how far he can fall.

 

[Trenches]

if he fell to #8 I trade the pick. Seems to me the piling that much cap dollars into the WR position would be a big mistake. sure, Indy did it, but they have proven guys in a proven system.

yeah, maybe as far as all the way to the bucs.

No way he falls past 3-4 the best player in the draft period.

Calvin Johsnon is going to look sick in that black and silver

 

[Blake]

I will wait to see what they do with Randy Moss, and who the new head coach is.

I think the go with Russell, and keep Moss due to a lack of good trade offers.
IMO, Al will not pass on a guy who can throw bombs like Russell.

I like him in navy and gold myself.

Russell to Moss would be like deja vu.
