just all the hype he is getting and people believing he's going to be an unstoppable WR. granted he has all the necessities to excel, but it's possible that he may be over-hyped. Just a thought

 

The amount of hype doesn't make a player a potential bust - flaws in player's games or head problems depite superb physical tools make players busts.

 

I honestly don't see any significant flaws in Johnson's game, and he sure doesn't have head problems. Seriously, this guy is Terrell Owens with better concentration and a Boy Scout attitude. If he stays healthy, he is a player that will have to be accounted for by 2 D players every down that he is on the field. There isn't a CB in the league that can cover his package of height/strength/speed/savvy.

 

As far as being on the board @ #4 - it's possible but highly improbable. I still think OAK takes him with pick 1.01, but even if Al is dumb enough to bypass him for Russell, someone (TB most likely) either trades up to #2 to take him or DET takes him themselves.

No, because the Raiders will take him at the #1 spot. If Tampa wants him so bad they will have to make a trade with Oakland (not Detroit) to get him.

 

If Oakland accepts, they could then snag Russell or Quinn at the #4 spot and gain a couple more draft picks in the process.

That would absolutely be the smart thing to do.

and why not?

 

Sure Galloway won't last forever, Clayton was rather disappointing, so they do need WR depth. But Galloway is still lasting, they haven't given up on Clayton, and Stovall is still developing. Their needs on defense are far more pressing than at WR. Gaines Adams would make the perfect 1.4 pick for them.
