    Woooooow. I haven't stopped saying that since I read that first paragraph about a minute ago. Those test results are SICK. A 43 inch vertical? 11 foot standing long jump?

    He is a sick athlete, sick player, and a good human being. Makes me wish our WRs sucked, and we were picking in the top 3.

    He will not be the first pick for two reasons. Wide Receiver, for all their shortcomings, is probably the only stacked position Oakland has. Aside from issues with Art Shell's incompetence, Moss and Porter along with some of their other guys are still very good wide receivers. Second, Oakland desperately needs a good QB or at the very least, a decent line that can make a mediocre QB have enough time to throw.

    However, he should go 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

    Don't be so sure. Lots of rumors of the Raiders trading away Randy Moss and Jerry Porter and making a pull for Byron Leftwich.

    I can see the raiders picking Jamarcus, that kind of prospect only comes around once in 10 years, and think of it like this.....

    Say they keep Jerry and Randy, they have

    Jamarcus throwing to Jerry Porter and Randy Moss

    If they draft calvin, and cut/trade Randy and Jerry

    Calvin Johnson will be throwing to Calvin Johnson

    Hm...even then I considered Andre Johnson the better prospect. Rogers was taller, but Johnson had better game speed, hands, he was alot stronger, and had alot more YAC ability.

    I ranked Andre Johnson over Charles Rogers for one reason.......

    Give me a speedy Miami Hurricane Receiver anyday, pretty much all of them are good, Santana, Roscoe parrish, Michael Irvin, Sinorice is catching on in NY, Andre, etc.

    Sinorice Moss is not helping your case.

    he was hurt and when he did come back, he had to play with an incompetent QB (eli manning) and watching Giants games all year (as i did) the guy did show some promise, and potential

    Calvin Johnson is one of the best prospects to come out in a while. Johnson is definitely the best player in this draft without a doubt.

    When that happens, I will change my forecast, but until then I stick with my beliefs.

    no, Sinorice blows. He even sucked as a kick returner, which was suppose to be his forte. He sucked in college and hes gonna suck in the pros. He was drafted way too high because of his last name. Giants screwed up another draft. Hopefully Kiwi turns into a monster hybrid LB and can salvage that draft.
