Seems like a good pick to me, especially after reading the color from PSUBeirut.

Crazy high RAS, great size, good blocker, good pedigree. He's obviously not Brock Bowers, but he seems like a good get in the 4th.

The only thing I'll say is that I was a little surprised they didn't grab a RB there. The Louisville RB or Jalen Wright would have been nice picks, but maybe they think one of these RBs will make to their 5th round pick and that Johnson was too nice of a prospect to pass up. I also think this means Waller probably won't be back.

Change of direction, natural instinct maybe not as good but maybe a faster Kevin Boss?  :hmm:

Witten was actually third round (69th overall), but stranger things have happened.

Yeah, he either leaves on his own or the Giants will cut him

I think after Nabers, Theo is my favorite draft pick.

He was impressive in his interview. --Smart, polite, gave the "right" answers, team first guy.

Even if the weaknesses on him are legitimate: straight line speed without too much great wiggle, there is most definitely enough wiggle to run some routes. He is also a great hands catcher that maximizes his immense catch radius. I saw him run a beautiful whip route here. Not many guys his size can do that. Also the seams routes, delay/late release stuff Daboll will do with him will make him a very nice complementary weapon. Excellent pick early 4th with Waller probably retiring.

Giants have transformed team speed.
