Mario Williams was a beast in college. Johnson has been an underachiever. I like him based on potential. I brought his name along with Tyson Jackson's up back along time ago, but it's a matter of potential with Johnson. The more you see what has happened this off season or what hasn't, the more you realized that this pick is very important to this team's future IMO.

I don't think they can take a risk on a guy like Johnson unless he's there in round 2.

Why is it that every time I hear Physical Freak, I have Mandarich flashbacks.

This is not a judgment of any player, just the first thing that runs through my mind when I hear the statement.

For the OT, he seems like a player that is going to have to grow into a DE for the 3-4. Maybe good in a couple years, but doesn't have the size now. What scares me, is that it usually takes a guy this size a year or two to become a player in the 4-3. I could see it taking longer for the 3-4 DE. Do we have that much time to develop a player?

Johnson would be an OLB in the 3-4. I would assume they would want him to play at about 270.

Which is my worry, as listed 266 and listed as lanky. Which to me means, he is going to put on weight. I don't think he would be able to stay at OLB for long and would have to switch to DE at some point in a couple years, and if he would make it to a 3-4 DE or look to transit to a 4-3 team.

Considering how close to the vest Thompson keeps his draft cards, I don't believe any rumors like this. At the most, it makes me think they're considering him as a possibility if the draft works out that way.
