The USA Today had him projected as a second rounder. By their projections, there were FOUR receivers better, and only one (Johnson) had been taken so far. Ninth overall?? Ginn is listed as 5-11, not the sort of size you expect from a high first round receiver.
In other news, good pick for the Texans. He'll be raw, but I like the Texans strategy of building from the trenches with Mario Williams last year and now Amobi Okoye. The downside to this pick is that the O-line might have been an even bigger need, but with Joe Thomas and Levi Brown both gone, there wasn't really an appropriate value left for them here.
Finally, I have to make the obligatory "Where does Brady Quinn go now?" comment. Kansas City? There's a big chance now that Quinn could end up on a team where he won't be given much opportunity to play right away. A handful of teams - St. Louis, Carolina, Baltimore - have decent, but not long term solutions at quarterback, and could stand to draft him with an eye towards starting in 2-3 years. If the Chiefs can unload Trent Green, there could be a spot for Quinn in KC, but he'd have to last until 23rd for that to happen. It would be a great spot for him, with Larry Johnson to take pressure off, but I don't think he'll last that long.
