The speedster created big plays out of nowhere, and his incredible knack for clutch moments for a team that had become a major national power was one of the defining tenures for the era. Ginn was drafted much higher than most expected, and the Miami Dolphins took the Buckeyes receiver ahead of Brady Quinn.

There's no way around it. The best and most realistic path to build a strong team in the NFL is the draft. That's even more important for a new team.
