Hiro Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 ];7456871']Probably. I think Quinn could have been a lot better' date=' but than again he isn't an All Pro either. But certainly, Ginn was a waste of a pick, and everyone knew this. It's like Detroit last year when they passed up on Oher (who turned out to be the best Tackle in the entire draft), and instead drafted a TE.[/quote'] I think it's more comparable to when Minnesota reached for Troy Williamson, and even when the Redskins traded up and drafted Desmond Howard #4 overall. Both teams went for speedy guys who did not have nearly the skillset or talent to justify being the 4th player taken. You have to keep in mind that at the time, Michael Oher had some major questions marks, making some wonder if Eben Britton was a better longterm prospect than him (with an overwhelming cosensus saying that Andre Smith, Eugune Monroe, and Jason Smith were much better prospects than him). While I don't condone taking a TE that high when offensive line is a concern, Brandon Pettigrew is a stud who could be a top 5 guy in a few years. They opted for BPA over need, which is okay giving the overall lack of talent the Detroit Lions have. Just my :2cents:. EDIT: It amazes me that Cam Cameron wasn't fired on the spot right then and there, trying to argue how they're going to "love this kid" and that he's going to be a "great return man" for the Dolphins.

terrifNick21 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 That gets funnier every time I watch it +1 I remember calling a friend and saying WTF! Even I knew how stupid that was. Lol. One of the worst picks ever in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntToast Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Ted Ginn Jr has more value than Santonio Holmes, wow. Ted Ginn Jr isn't going to miss the first four games because of a failed drug test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm surprised they didn't throw tomatoes at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRex Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Cam Cameron is very good friends with Ted Ginn Jr's father. Drafting family over the BPA and the BPA @ need? Total crap. They should have drafted Brady Quinn. They needed to start developing a QB! QB > Kick Returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRex Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm surprised they didn't throw tomatoes at him. It's Florida so, oranges would be more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Screen Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I really feel like if that rumor is true, and it is Ginn for a 5th, then Campbell HAS to be worth more than the 4th that many are saying. Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 LMAOin hindsight, you take darrell revis obviously, or patrick willis can cameron still gets ****canned though, no matter what that guy sucked I remember his first game as Fins coach, 2007 season opener in Washington. He went for a TD with a few seconds left before half instead of taking the gimmie FG and got it to take the lead going in. I thought that was a hell of a coaching decision and that he'd end up being a great Coach. So much for that. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daanie Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Both the Ginn and Holmes trades for 5th round picks has surprised me. A #9 overall pick and a superbowl MVP? A 5th rounder may not even make your roster. Dallas Sartz and Durant Brooks I believe were recent 5th rounders here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeTK Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 wow... this is pretty suprising. honestly, i'd rather keep him as a return/slot guy if all i could get was a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
