VonBlade Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 As I was so PO'd about the Bengals I thought I'd have a flick through some Buckeye stats. One player (besides a QB we don't need) clearly stood out. That lead to a quick visit to Youtube. Anyway, my question is this. Is Ted Ginn Jr [i]reallly[/i] the player he looks in highlights? He's like the Road Runner on speed. Insane elusiveness and speed. And assuming he is all that, what's the chances of him falling to us with 32nd pick? Or is he really a top 10 candidate. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ginn produces a lot of highlight film material, and he is developing into a more complete receiver. He has learned how to block, and his route running is getting better. When you get him in the open field, his speed is [b]insane[/b]. He may not be a Top 10 pick, but he will probably go in the 11 to 20 range if he comes out. He could stand to add a little size, and there are mixed reports as to whether or not he will come out. He will not make it to 32, but if we don't improve our run D and pass blocking, we won't be picking 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whodey 85 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 When it comes to the college WR's, 2 dudes that play right now that Id rather have than Ted Ginn as an NFL player are: 1. Calvin Johnson from GT-best, no argument 2. Sidney Rice from South Carolina-physical beast I kno that doesnt answer ur question, but I want to see whut some Buckeyes fans say about that.

Im more into taller guys who r just fast, than smaller guys who burn. Those r the guys who usually become better pros, but Ginn has a chance of bein a good WR in the NFL. He could become Steve Smith or Santana Moss, or become Peter Warrick, who knos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is still a few months off. Saine may be the incoming recruit, but the replacement in the lineup will probably be Robo-Receiver (Robiskie) or Hartline. My concern next season is replacing Troy. If Boeckman or Schoenhoft step up next year this team could contend next season too. But one of them needs to start getting some semi-meaningful mop up time.

Calvin is unbelievable, and imo will be the #1 overall pick. Sidney's struggled this year (though this has been largely due to QB play)... he doesn't quite have the speed and quickness of Johnson, though he can match his strength and leaping ability. I still think Sidney can go top 15-20 and is def a more polished receiver than Ginn, tho again less explosive. The WRs in this draft are incredibly deep. 1. Johnson 2. Rice 3. Ginn 4. Jarrett 5. A Gonzalez 6. Sweed 7. Samardzjia 8. Filani all those guys and prob some I forgot have a chance of going in the 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he is similar in style to Troy doesn't mean he is anywhere near as good, or ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
