Draft Projection - First Round

NFL Impact - Ted Ginn Jr. will bring sprinters speed to the NFL team that drafts him this April. An electrifying talent that is a threat to take it the distance everytime he touches the ball will likely be a mid first round selection based on the potential that his world class speed gives him. Still a bit raw as a receiver (originally recruited as a CB), Ginn will need to work on his route running to excel at the next level. Ginn also excels as a returner and should see action immediately in this role for the team who drafts him.

What are your thoughts on Ted Ginn Jr? Who could be calling his name in April?

i wish he would have stayed... but that is selfish, and i just wanted him to be playing for osu one last time.

i think he will do fine in the nfl.

he's quick, tough, and has that drive.

I think he could be a nice deepthreat for many teams.

glorified troy williamson.

A taller, stonger Joey Galloway. he has some improvement to make in his route running, but his raw measurables are off the chart.

i hate to see him go to anyone but the bengals, but johnson couldnt have that! lol

Dude is insanely fast, he'll be a Hester type player....just not as good

Coverted to a draft projection thread

Honestly, I don't think Ginn is as raw as most people think.....he has obvious work to do on his route running, but there simply isn't a much faster WR out there.......in my original mock, I was looking for some line help in St. Louis, as Bulger couldn't stay on his feet at all in the last half of the season.....but with Thomas being the only impact O-lineman coming out, and big ???????'s surrounding a lot of the lineman, I see the Rams being the first potential stop for Ginn.......Bruce is getting too old, Holt's not a rookie anymore, and why not put a burner on what will be the only turf field left next year? If he doesn't go there, I'd expect him to be gobbled up before #19, as the Steelers(to a lesser degree), Jags, and Titans all have either current or future need at that spot.

That right there, if I am a general manager, is not a tag I want to see on a player coming out of college, especially from a top tier university. If the player is coming from a small college, where the coaching talent is much less, then I am less alarmed. But, if it is a player coming from a college such as Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, LSU, Texas, USC......... any of the big schools, that is a player I am quickly leary of.

you ran routes in high school, you ran routes for a top school, for 3 years in college. If you are still not crisp and disciplined in your route running, I am not interested in how fast you are. The NFL if full of guys like that who struggle for a few years, spend some time returning kicks and punts, then exit from the NFL after 4-5 years.

Not saying Ginn is one of those guys, but that comment is just a red flag for me.

He's got the speed and the hands and the big play ability. The question is does he have the work ethic. He played for OSU under Jim Tressel, so I think it's hard to doubt his work ethic. He'll be a great pick and probably be remembered as the second best WR of this draft behind Johnson.

Ginn will not be running at the combine.

Honestly, route running is an art that can be learned by any player that is dedicated at getting it down. Steve Smith was not a great route runner, but finally found his niche in his third season and has excelled at route runnning with superior speed. Poor route running in high school and college should be expected as the talent is not near as good and errors are easily disguishable. Ginn will be a talent that will make NFL coaches and Fantasy owners drool.

Yes, Steve Smith succeeded, so far. But for every Steve Smith, how many big name receiver came out college with bad route running skills and failed? I think you will find the number to be rather high.
