2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Last updated on Jul-15-2012 by Matt De Lima

There are few sure things in this world, but Calvin Johnson is close to being one of them. Expectations are high and they should be. Now that Megatron has a reliable quarterback to feed him the ball, there's no stopping him. Johnson began 2011 with nine touchdowns in the first five weeks and finished the year with career highs across the board. Now if Matthew Stafford gets injured, Johnson's numbers will nosedive, but that's a risk every stud receiver has to deal with. Draft Johnson confidently if you have the chance.

1.05 DraftCalc.com - After the big three, Foster, McCoy and Rice, the only two players I consider are Aaron Rodgers and Calvin Johnson. I think with a top 4-5 overall pick, it's important to land a player that can finish No. 1 at his position. You can't go wrong with either Rodgers or Calvin with that No. 4 or 5 slot this year.

1.04 FFToday.com - I am pretty tempted to go with a RB given the perceived depth at WR vs. RB this year, but Madden curse be damned, I'll take Megatron because he is so dominant at his position.
