How far could Calvin Johnson fall in the draft?

Question

I know he is extremely talented, but considering the needs of teams, what is the farthest he could fall?

Answer 1

I would think he would not go past the fifth pick. I will tell you from being a GT season ticket holder for the last eight years that any team that passes him up will be sorry. Imagine Marvin Harrison, TO, and moss in their prime and roll the best parts of them into one guy - Thats Calvin Johnson. Dont let his college stats fool you he had no quarterback.

Answer 2

The farthest Calvin could fall is #5. A talent like him, especially at the Wideout position, comes along roughly every 8-10 years. His combination of size, speed, athleticism are just too hard to ignore. Not to mention he is a great person off the field. Extremely hard working player, if he does get passed up people will be talking about it for years as the idiot team who let CJ fall.

Answer 3

There's no way he falls past 6-7. He may even go number 1 because Al Davis loves to take risks (by risk I mean, not go the traditional route. e.g. drafting SeaBass in the 1st round). My guess is that if he's still on the board either Washington or the Vikings will jump all over him.

Answer 4

No lower than 6

Answer 5

no later than 5

Answer 6

With his talent he will not drop past ten!! Some teams don't go by their needs they go by best player available at the time.

Answer 7

8

Answer 8

The Vikings have a huge need for a decent wide receiver. I think they pick 8th or something like that.

Answer 9

Probably taken in the 3rd or 4th round.

Answer 10

Late first round.
