1. (9) Ted Ginn Jr., WR/KR
When the 9th pick in the first round came up every Dolphins fan at their draft party in Miami were getting ready to cheer the pick of Brady Quinn but the cheers turned to loud boos when the Fins selected Ohio State’s Ted Ginn. No one can doubt the athletic ability of Ted Ginn as he can run a 4.3 second 40 yard dash, but, he’s soft. Not only is Ginn soft, but he’s coming off of a serious foot injury and he will not be ready to practice until at least July. Ginn was a very productive player for the Buckeyes in his career there. He played in 37 games (30 starts) and he caught 135 passes for 1,943 yards (14.4 avg) with 15 TD grabs. He projects as a #2 WR in the NFL as he’s likely not tough enough to be a #1. The bonus with Ginn is that he’s a fantastic return man. He returned 38 kickoffs at Ohio State for 1,012 yards (26.6 avg) with 2 TD returns. He also is an unbelievable punt returner as he returned 64 punts for 900 yards (14.1 avg) with 6 TD returns for the Buckeyes. The Dolphins better hope that Ginn stays healthy or they will be reminded often of passing on Brady Quinn.
