I already know I'm going to be too lazy to do a mock draft, so I figured I should just give some of my predictions and thoughts... I might have some more as we get closer to the Draft, but here's my thoughts for now:As of now, my WR rankings:
1. Calvin Johnson - Nothing needs to be said.
2. Ted Ginn - He seems to be dropping, but he's just explosive with the ball. Whether he's getting a handoff, making a catch, or returning a kick, he is always a threat to score. There are better pure receivers in this draft, but not too many guys that are better playmakers.
3. Robert Meachem - I actually had him ranked high before it was cool to do so. Size, strength, speed... he's a physical specimen.
4. Dwayne Bowe - Another big guy... after CJ, he is the best WR here and going up and getting the ball in traffic.
5. Dwayne Jarrett - Another guy that is dropping like a rock, but I think teams are getting a little carried away. He's compared to Mike Williams because he's from USC and is a little slow, but he's a hard worker, and he knows how to get open and catch the football. I think he'll be just fine as a possession receiver.
- Joe Thomas going fishing instead of going to the Draft... that is awesome.
In a perfect world, here's the rankings of guys I would most want on the Vikings:
1. Calvin Johnson
2. Joe Thomas
3. Adrian Peterson
4. Gaines Adams
5. Laron Landry
- I think whoever takes Michael Bush in round 3 or 4 is going to wind up really happy.
- I know about the Lions and their history with WR... but I'd take Calvin Johnson if he's there at #2. He's the best player in the draft. You can't let past mistakes take you away from doing what is best for the team now.
- I am older than Amobi Okoye.
- I see Drew Stanton going in round 2 or 3 in most mocks, but I just don't see him being successful in the NFL. He's got some talent, and he was playing without much of a supporting cast at MSU, but he was just a little inconsistent for me. I just don't see him ever being a good NFL starter.
What are some of your thoughts?

This Amobe Okoye thing is crazy to me...he signed with Louisville when he was 15! I really thought there was no way someone could play in the NFL unless they had at least a few years of college; technically, he should be an incoming freshman and he's a top 10 pick ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE. I know it is a big story, but people should be absolutely flipping out about this. Imagine if he was just entering college now?
For me Ted Ginn is going to be a huge pick for some club. You're right about his stock dropping but I can't understand why.
I doubt his injury history is enough to make him a possible draft bust, but I think that's how some teams are seeing it.
Ted Ginn= Troy Williamson
I'd be very happy if the Vikes get Adrian Peterson like Mel Kiper says they will.
As someone who watched almost every minute of every collegiate game in Ted Ginn's career, let me say this: he is NOT the second best WR in this years draft. He can run like a gazelle, but he does not run great routes, his hands aren't great, and he has a tendancy to lose concentration.
The Troy Williamson comparison is good.
I would def take Meachem and Jarrett over Ginn
I would take either Landry or Peterson. I would be happy with either of these 2. The problem with recievers Johnson is one of the only sure thing players in the draft. The rest it is either a hit or miss.Look @ Williamson(struckout)
Ted Ginn= Desmond Howard
