Keyshawn Johnson on Fins WRs
Keyshawn Johnson thinks that Miami Dolphins' WR Ted Ginn Jr. "had a good year, but he's a guy that is not your elite receiver. He's a good No. 2." Ginn, who was taken ninth in 2007 by the Dolphins, is the only receiver taken in the first round by the Fins in the past 11 years.
Johnson says he knows what kind of WR Bill Parcells likes. Someone like, well, him. In other words, a receiver that is big, strong and can line up inside or outside.
He went on to say that Parcells believes WRs are "a dime a dozen" so he won't draft one in the first round. The Dolphins have the 25th pick in this year's draft.
Instead, he thinks Parcells will target someone like Cal Poly's Ramses Barden.
"The problem you have with him is he can run like a deer and he can play like a deer - scared."It's exactly earth-shattered news that Keyshawn is willing to share his opinion on a topic, any topic, and that he doesn't think Ginn is an "elite receiver."

"I like his size. He attacks the football," Johnson said. "He doesn't look like he's fast, but he gets down the field because he has a long stride. I think he'd fit good with Ted Ginn."Barden, who's 6'6" and weighs 227 pounds, is projected as a third-round pick. He improved on his Combine performance in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day Friday when he ran 4.51 and 4.55.
