Bronco Billy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 For all you doubters who thought his 4.33 was fudged, the guy turned a 4.35 40 this morning - and with his long stride it looked a lot slower - I thought we'd hear a time in the 4.45/4.5 range, it looked like he wasn't working hard to do it. On top of that, he originally wasn't going to run, so he had to borrow someone else's shoes to do it. Holy crap, you think some DCs are saying their prayers at night that he's not drafted into their division? T.O. without the attitude...

spain Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Best player in the entire draft. He is a beast! I wish there was someway the Titans could make a deal to move up and get this guy. Maybe Tampa would be interested in Pacman Jones...

Looks like he'll go to Tampa at the moment. Carolina will need some CB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I think the Titans are looking more at getting somebody like Robert Meacham, WR, Tennessee. He just ran a 4.36 in the 40. Had a huge year, has good size at about 6'2". Or they may have to go CB now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Steve Smith 4.37. I've seen the Packers projected to take him in round 3. He should move up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdrudge Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 let me ask this....do the detroit lions really want to be the team that drafted chuck rogers and mike williams, but PASSED on calvin johnson? just sayin'....Its a no-win situation for Detriot. If they pass, then people will make fun of them for the reason that you pointed out. If they go for them, they will make fun of them for taking yet another WR in the first round.

Since there is no possible way for Millen to ever save his reputation in the NFL, he might as well just go for it regardless of the criticism that he will take either way.

whomper Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Coin Flip May Have Cost Calvin Johnson $7 Million Posted Feb 25th 2007 10:50AM by David J. Warner Filed under: Buccaneers, NFC South, NFL Draft, NFL Media Watch, Tampa Bay How much did Friday's coin toss affect the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Not much, really. The prevailing wisdom surrounding the NFL Draft is that Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson was always headed to the Bucs in the first round, regardless of whether the Browns picked ahead of them or not. However, it may have had a major impact on Johnson's finances. This morning on NFL Network, analyst (and renown thorn in Al Davis' side) Adam Schefter suggested that the coin flip may have cost Johnson $7 million on his rookie contract. He even went as far as to call it, "the most expensive coin flip in the history of sports." Granted, this ignores the coin flip that sent Magic Johnson to the Los Angeles Lakers and David Greenwood to the Chicago Bulls, but that was an entirely different definition of expensive, wasn't it? Also, let's not underestimate the utter contempt that Matt Millen has for the people of Detroit. Most pundits think he isn't dumb enough to take yet another receiver with the second pick, but given that the Ford family just won't fire him, he may think he's just that bulletproof and take Johnson 2nd. I would suggest to Johnson that he should high-tail it to Canada with Mike McMahon if that happens. The Fords' only definition of winning is whether or not the team makes a profit. Aren't you glad Malcolm Glazer isn't like that? Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments [0] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments [0] The way I see it is that if Millen takes CJ with the second pick, then Joe Thomas will have to drop to the Bucs at #4. In all honesty, the Bucs need a left tackle more than a WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xMRogers Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Jolly - between Davis and Trueblood, don't you think the bucs are good (and young) at tackle at this point. I think they should take CJ if he's there / trade down if not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return Of S&B Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Why wouldn't the Raiders take Johnson? Because they have Moss and Porter back in good terms (according to Adam Shefter) and QB and OL are bigger needs right now....BUT if Moss is traded away before the draft for a QB or a draft pick, the Raiders will draft Calvin.

Swampnuts Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The Raiders should try to hold somebody hostage here. They could easily trade down with the Bucs and still get Russell. If I were Al Davis, I'd hype up Johnson and make Tampa pay to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
