And keep his role in mind too.  Ginn was expected to come in and play from the first snap of the ball as a #1.  This guy's probably going to be a #3 at best because we have Marshall Bess and Hartline already.

What I have been saying for days. But some thick headed Spider-Troll can't get it through is domed shaped mellon.

And you wonder why everyone dog piles on you.  That type of name calling is how it usually gets started. 

Back to the topic at hand.  Let's hope Gates is not the scaredy cat that Ginn was.  I have to agree with Spider Dan that Ginn was drafted way to high for the type of player he was, especially by a team that was coming off a 6-10 season and had other needs that were more pressing.  Ginn was a luxury pick that the Dolphins couldn't afford.

Come have a Landshark with me and chill.

I'm still convinced that the only reason Ginn was picked that high was... Devin Hester.

In many ways you are correct.   The biggest revolution in the game in the last 15 years has been special teams play.  Kickers who can make it from 60 yards, and guys who can return kicks and punts for touchdowns on a moment's notice. 

Donte Hall, Brian Mitchell, Devin Hester.  Now how would that lead you to draft a reciever like that so high?

The following basic logic.  Player is a good kick returner> Player must have really good speed + better than average open field ability. 

The problem was, Ted Ginn couldn't catch a hooker in a whore house.  Do you keep a guy like that simply to return kicks?
