As much as I think CJ is the most “outstanding” player over the past four or five years to hit the draft, and as much as I admire John Gruden more than the rest of the “Buc Faithful”, this move would make absolutely NO SENSE! This draft in particular is loaded with solid defensive talent, and as we all know, the Bucs need to improve tremendously on the defensive side of the ball. Granted CJ would make an immediate impact wherever he goes, he alone will not be able to solve all of the problems on the field for the Bucs. This move would set the Bucs even further behind the rest of the league; more so than they already are right now. DON’T DO IT GRUDEN!

C.Johnson would be a good pick at #4, but not by giving up 4 draft picks!  The Bucs defense is in worse shape that the offense!  There are several good Bucs first(4)draft picks there to help make the Bucs a much better team!  I hope that all of this is just some smoke Gruden/Allen screen!!!!!!!!!

Giving up all those picks would be just plain stupid.  If they stay at 4 they are sure to get a great player.
We must rebuild the defense. We need those picks!

Calvin Johnson will no doubt be one heck of a WR but a WR alone won’t win too many football games. Johnson is not worth mortgaging the team’s future. Bruce Allen is nothing but Jon Gruden’s do boy and Jon Gruden is nothing but an idiot!!!

If this would happen.  It would be, without a doubt, the dumbest thing this franchise has ever done.

Even if Johnson is picked ahead of us, there will still be quality players left at No. 4.  Joe Thomas, Gaines Adams, Brady Quinn, etc.  This team needs a lot of players.  Picking a receiver helps, but we still need help in all areas on the defense, OL and QB on offense.  Gruden, one player will not make up for all of those holes.

This would be the worst trade to happen since ditka gave all picks for ricky williams. Now im not saying that calvin johnson isnt the best player in the draft, but considering there is so many holes elsewhere to be filled that unless where only gonna give up one of our second round picks its not worth it. Sidney Rice will still be there and we can add so much talent all over the place. Lord knows i would love CJ on my team, but to forget about everything else we need for him. i just cant see it happening.

Wow, that would just be ridiculous.  CJ is truly awesome, but is he really worth that much to the Bucs?  The team has too many holes that need to be addressed, especially on D, through the draft to give up such high picks.  If he’s not there at the 4 or even 2 spot, I say trade down.  There are still impact recievers to be had later on, and they could really help out other areas of the team that desperately need an infusion of youth and talent.

Oh please say it ain’t so!! The Raiders are bluffing, they are not going to draft Calving Johnson; The Raiders will draft Jamarcus Russell. As a Bucs fan, I will be very upset if Bruce Allen gives up 4 draft picks just to get Johnson. We need those four picks to rebuild the defense; I think they can still get Johnson with the #4 pick!!
