Spiller A LOT is faster than Ginn.

I'm not saying he's devin hester(damn the bears to hell for ruining him) but, If he can dominate in the return game he won't be out of the discussion. Me personally I think he'll put up good numbers this season but, unless he makes It happen in the return game I don't see him in the discussion as the season progresses.

Going Suh for defensive.

Gonna put my homer glasses on for offense and take Jermaine Gresham. I think he will really perform well as this will be the first time Carson has had any kind of pass catcher at that spot. And I'm sure he'll be anxious to try him out.

He's a good pick. I am not sure the change from playing TE at OU to playing TE in Cincy's offense will allow him to produce quickly, but his game is tailor made for the pro game. I thought he was one of the best picks in the draft.

My only concern for him will be if he can stay on the field for 3 downs. I don't know if Marvin trusts his blocking enough. And thats a huge thing now that the Bengals have turned into a power running team.

Gresham should end up being a quality pick but there's practically no way he wins OROY. The only way I see that award going to a TE is if they put up Moss-like rookie numbers with the entire offense running through them. I don't think he's that good, don't think Palmer's the type of QBs that will have blinders for one player (let alone his rookie TE), and don't think Ocho Cinco or Bryant would be happy about the rookie TE getting that much love.

That is exactly what I was thinking. If It's hard for rookie WR's to make some noise I can't imagine how hard it is for the TE's to do work.

LOL @ the Demaryious Thomas picks.

Anybody that's seen CFB knows Decker is way more of a receiver than Thomas is; with the triple-option GT ran there was usually single coverage on Thomas (hence his 25 ypc average last year). I fully believe Decker will have much more success in the NFL.

I agree, but that's if he can bounce back from the ankle injury. Over time, I think Thomas will get the feel of a real passing game. Early on, yeah I'll take Decker over him.
