It seems that's one of the reasons we took him, so Cribbs doesn't have to return kicks.

I guess that means they'll have Cribbs focus on being a WR, is that better than anyone we could have drafted there? Who knows

I would like cliff Harris late also. Page would be nice but it's doubtful now with the Benjamin pick

If we are basically in the "take a flyer mode" as we have been for the past few rounds, lets at least do it with a guy who has a very high potential ceiling.

We haven't been drafting value or BPA, so let's at least go for the potential home run.

I'd be happy with Minnifield, Harris, or Dennard at this point. I'd take those 3 before Boykin.

I'd rather get another receiver though.

At the very least he has more potential upside than any other mid rounder we would draft, and would bring a toughness and meanstreak that would play well in the AFC north if he pulls his head out.
LMFAO. No. You can get the guy for a 7th round pick. Why the hell would you want to use a 4th on him. The 4th round is not a crap shoot, thank god you are not the GM.

I was hoping for a OLB, not an ILB. I don't know anything about this Nevada guy though.

The 4th round is not a crap shoot,
The way we have been drafting it is.

I wonder if he's got the ability to move outside. He's a run stuffer.

He played outside for 2 years then moved inside. He's athletic. Good pick

ILB Johnson, 4.68 40-yd dash, 23 bench reps, 37 inch vertical, 124 inch broad jump, 4.37 20-yard shuttle... sounds like another athlete selection

general consensus seems to be that it was a good pick and that it could be a fujita replacement at wlb

I don't hate this pick. I am shocked.

Saints take the WR we should have taken. Nick Toon.

Here's hoping Dennard will slip all the way to us in the 5th Rd, but not likely.

Steelers viewed James Michael-Johnson as a sleeper.

Browns may have got one right...finally. :D

I'd rather have Benjamin than Toon. Toon isn't better than Massaquoi, and Benjamin is a burner.

Phil Dawson could produce as many receptions as Massaquoi has.

I've watched Benjamin a lot. He makes some good plays then he just disappears but he is SUPER fast.

I like the James Michael-Johnson pick...I think LB is a team need and he looks like he has the size and speed to come in and replace Fujita. Could still pick up one more LB for depth later on...maybe Burfict?

I agree with this. Would definitely take Burfict in the 6th or 7th as well.

So do they take another WR next round? I know I've said it a couple times, but I do like Marvin McNutt from Iowa, eventhough I hated him when he played against OSU. He has good size and has great hands. I think he's about 6-3 215 and could be a nice addition...any other wrs left who could be good? Is Marvin Jones still on the board?
