Not surprised to see Willis so high, and actually not surprised to see Revis ahead of Hall . . . which I have been suggesting for the past week or so. He ran a 4.38 and has a much higher ceiling than Hall, in my opinion. Carriker and Landry both seem a bit low.

Reggie Nelson is gunna be a star

I know all you Gators fans love Nelson, but Landry is clearly the better player and safer bet in the draft. People have been talking about Landry for the last three years, and he has done nothing but impress since then. He was also one of the most impressive players at the combine.

To be honest I have Hall as 1a and Revis as 1b. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I would prefer Hall however.

Yeah, that is pretty much what I think. Hall is certainly more proven, but whether he can actually get better is up for debate. I think Revis certainly has the potential to be an even better player in the NFL than he was in college.

But I will admit this, I have a severe bias when it comes to the conferences.

Oh boy!!!

Finally, somebody doesn't Ted Ginn Jr. in their top 25. Speed does not ensure a top 15 pick. His route running is terrible, he doesn't go over the middle, and he is too small. But wait; I forgot he is fast so let's draft him at 9#.

I saw Ginn go over the middle tons of times. I don't know about being to small, he could use like 10-15 lbs, but he isn't too small. He will need to work on his routes in the pros, but we won't be asking him to run every type of route in every situation during his rookie campaign.

A good porton of Ginn's highlight reels are him going over the middle in slant routes

Lol yet another blatantly uninformed anti-Ginn person. Ginn isnt just a track star, he plays at a faster level than everyone else. He goes over the middle all the time too, dunno where you dug that up from. And to small for what? Yeah, there are no small receivers in the NFL. Aside from this ankle thing, Ginn has not been injured. He plays so fast its hard to get a clean shot on him. And mroe often than not its not one hit that knocks someone out of th league, its a succession of injuries. A guy like Ginn just doesnt TAKE those hits!

I just dont understand the stubborness of some of the people in regard to Ginn.

as for him being too small, torry holt, marvin harrison, donald driver, steve smith, those are just a few guys in the NFL who are ginn's hieght or shorter, i bet you wouldn't mind getting any of those players would you?
