Oh boy, where to start? In reverse order of the stupid things I read in this thread:

1. Calvin Johnson shouldn't be the test for how good a WR is. He's off the charts, and will probably end up a HOFer. Most 1st rounders won't sniff a Pro Bowl, so even for high first rounders you are setting your sights at a guy who can start for multiple seasons of a 5 year rookie contract and perhaps end up in one Pro Bowl by year 5. That's makes for an A to A+ pick for picks 5-32.

2. Since when is 97 catches in 2 seasons pedestrian for a 3rd rounder? That's a home run pick, and huge production at a position that usually develops slowly.

3. Treadwell - not every skill player can be evaluated purely on height, weights, and 40 time. You need route running skills, good hands, blocking, be a good teammate, stay healthy, and recover well from injuries. Treadwell checks the box on all of these to go with good size, weight and speed. If he had everything, he'd be megatron. But you know who has pretty pedestrian height, weight, and speed stats? Amari Cooper. Who has all of the above? Julio Jones. Sure, I'd pick Julio first, but I don't think any NFL team would be disappointed with Amari in the first round in a redraft. I'm not comparing Treadwell to Cooper but based on his measurables and college dominance I see no reason why he couldn't be a #1 WR for a decade.

I know this is a troll but if anyone actually believes that then their opinion on football in general is not valid.

Calvin a Johnson entered the 2007 draft. Paul Johnson's first season was the following fall. He played in a much different offense than what PJ coaches.

Ole Miss WR- Donte Moncrief was drafted in the 3rd round pick #90 by the Colts. Thru 2 seasons, Donte has 96 catches for 1177 yards and 9 tds on 12.3 yards per catch. In a high octane passing offense, Moncrief has been pretty pedestrian likely due to him having to learn an NFL system coming from Ole Miss's simplistic scheme.


You obviously haven't watched the colts at all the past 2 seasons.

Donte has doubled his production in every category from his rookie year to this year. That's pretty good for a guy that isn't the #1 receiver on his roster.

2014: rec 32, yds 444, avg 13.9, TD 3
2015: rec 64, yds 733, avg 11.5, TD 6

Just at the TD catch he got with the PI on it in the Sugar Bowl all you need see.

He is similar to Dez Bryant. Plays much bigger than his measurables, and has really strong hands. He is a red zone nightmare.

Ok, since it's all about size, explain OBJ. The point is, paper only tells so much.

True, but for Calvin, a wishbone might be preferable to a more modern offense run by a guy named Reggie Ball.

Baws, I wasn't the one trying to compare Calvin Johnson to Treadwell. Some other idiot in this thread tried to do that. Calvin Johnson is a first ballot hall of famer that had an outstanding college career. Treadwell may make 1 or 2 pro bowls in the right system and had an above average college career. Calvin was picked number 2 in the draft. Treadwell shouldn't be picked in the same stratosphere, but he's constantly discussed a top 5 or top 10 pick which is absolutely ridiculous.

What does that have to do with Treadwell getting 1000 times more hype than Moncrief?
