What are the odds he's there at 28

Re: Michael Johnson

Depends on if the reports of TB being "in love" with him are true. Theoretically, Johnson should be there at 28...though I'm not even sure if he's worth that pick. I'd rather wait to see if he drops to 42, honestly.

I dont know much about it, except he was an atheltic phenom that has slipped big time.

Good odds. Him, Ayers or Sidbury would be great selections for us at 28. Sidbury would be my first choice.

I really don't think Sidbury has risen that much. Maybe I'm wrong, but I still see him as a mid-to-late second round guy.

I'm not real knowledgeable on his situation. I believe DraftBoy mentioned before that while Johnson is a hard worker, he gets easily discouraged if he's not making plays.

According to draftcountdown.com:

Strengths:
Has a large rangy frame with extremely long arms...Outstanding athleticism...Great speed...Quick and agile...Terrific range...Explosive with a burst...Does a nice job in pursuit and closes in a hurry...Great leaper and will bat down passes...A terror off the edge...Has shown the ability to make impact plays...Decent production...Has a ton of upside.

Weaknesses:
Lean with average bulk...Isn't very strong, tough or physical...Has a terrible motor...Will get manhandled at times...Almost a non-factor against the run...Is not stout at the point and gets pushed around...Sub par instincts...Runs himself out of plays...Limited experience...Plays with poor leverage...Intensity and commitment have been questioned.

Pass rushers are a premium these days and after the season he had and the performance at the combine he wont last past Cincinnati in the second.

The negatives WAY outweigh the positives. He's not right in the head. This is what busts are made of. I don't want this guy anywhere on the radar.

Maybe so, but teams have a lot of other needs too, like OT. Sidbury is good, but I just don't think he has a first-round grade. Like I said, I could be wrong...it only takes one team to like him. But that would be a huge rise in draft stock, and I just don't think he'll go in the first round.
