Tavon Austin vs Ted Ginn
OK, these guys were both dynamic in college and superfast. Both are small. Both teams who drafted them traded up to get them. So tell me why Austin will have a better career than Ginn has had, and why he might be a good wide receiver? I only see him as being a great kick returner similar to Devin Hester and Ginn. Are there any other fast, diminutive WRs in history who became great at CATCHING the ball? Wes Welker is the closest that I can think of but he had Tom Brady - Sam Bradford isn't even close to his skill level. Remember, Welker played with Miami and didn't post great numbers until the move to New England.

Re: Tavon Austin vs Ted Ginn
Austin is a much better pass catcher than Ginn. That's pretty important for a WR.
However, I do think the Austin hype is a little too high, but he's better than Ginn to me. Ginn was over drafted and people were laughing and making fun of the pick. No one is laughing at the Rams for taking Austin. He looks like a slot WR with return ability. I'm not investing in Austin because I don't trust him to stay healthy, because he won't find the side line as much in the NFL and he'll get hit more than college.

Re: Tavon Austin vs Ted Ginn
Austin will be drafted too high but has the potential to put up numbers like we saw from Amendola when he was healthy. If he can produce that more consistantly than did Amendola then he will be at top 20-25 WR.
Ginn is a return specialist and a fantasy afterthought.
