OK, let's put on our psychic caps and predict 2 players from the 1st round of the '07 draft that will have great NFL careers, and 2 that will be busts. My predictions: Boom: Patrick Willis - San Fran LaRon Landry - Washington Busts: JaMarcus Russell - Oakland Ted Ginn Jr. - Miami
Boom: Joe Thomas- Cleveland, Anthony Spencer- Cowboys Bust: Marshawn Lynch- Buffalo, Greg Olsen- Bears
Boom: Brady Quinn (in a Roethlisberger's rookie season kind of way), Darrelle Revis Bust: Marhsawn Lynch, Ted Ginn, Jr.
Boom: Darrelle Revis .... Joe Thomas Bust: JaMarcus Russell ... Marshawn Lynch (execpt against the Jets he'll rush for 150)
Boom: Amobi Okoye, Calvin Johnson, Ginn (I've seen him by himself deflate my teams hopes too frequently ) Bust: Alan Branch, Craig Davis, Leon Hall
Boom: Anthony Spencer (Cowboys), Calvin Johnson (Lions) Bust: Brady Quinn (Browns), Ted Ginn Jr (Dolphins)
Boom: Anthony Spencer, Darelle Revis Bust: Aaron Ross, Greg Olsen 2nd rounders I like: Sidney Rice, Kevin Kolb, Dwayne Jarrett
Then why isn't the entire Penn State team on your boom list :up: In all seriousness, Ginn reminds me a lot of Troy Williamson - great times speed, a quick guy who catches the deep ball well but can't come across the middle and needs to run deep on every play. That just gets too predictable and he becomes a liftime bust like Williamson. He will become one of the more dynamic KR's in the game though, and will likely smash Hester's records...
Not a bad thread because speculation is always fun, but you never no. If we must I say boomer's are.... 1. Laron Landry.....best defensive player in this draft....period 2. Joe Thomas......I love the new age offensive tackle. Smart, atheltic, and durable if they stay healthy. I almost feel that offensive tackle is probably the second most important offensive posistion beside QB. Glad the Gang Green got our main stay tackle last year. 3. Calvin Johnson.....will be one of the best ever. Jerry Rice 2.0 with more physical ability. 4. Jammal Anderson.....underated defensive end who will help John Abraham get after the QB in Atlanta. Plus I'm sure the Falcons realize that Abe probably will never stay healthy for more than 5 games. Busts..... 1. Tedd Ginn Jr...way to undersized and chicken shi* to go across the middle. He's to small to be a number one, or even a number two. Chris Chambers is still the best receiver in Miami. After his first contract runs out he will end up doing what most "GREAT PUNT RETURNER'S" like is coach called him, do. Bounce around the league from team to team before quietly retiring. 2. Marshawn Lynch.....yawn. Just another expendable back. Buffalo will get one or two decent seasons out of him as they did Willis McGahee and Travis Henry. Then after releasing or trading him, they'll draft another mediocre back in the draft. Buffalo sucks at drafting, I just realized that. Whens the last time they had a decent draft?
BOOM: QB Jamarcus Russell , TE Zach Miller, DE Quentin Moses ,OT Mario Henderson, WR Johnnie Lee Higgins, RB Michael Bush. CB John Bowie, DE Jay richardson , S Eric Frampton , FB Oren O'neal BUst: CB Darelle Revis, lb David harris
