He's also got rare agility for a guy his size. To put this in perspective, CJ is 239 and Shannon Sharpe went 228.

Add to that, considering that drafting Calvin Johnson essentially allowed Detroit to trade Roy Williams for a 1st, 3rd and 5th round pick, and Calvin Johnson is already the best "drafted" wide receiver of recent history.
He's also the reason why Detroit takes Stafford. You don't piss away talent like that by not having a decent quarterback throwing to him. That is, unless people in Detroit think Drew Stanton can be that guy, and if that's the case, the Chiefs just got a bit more leverage with their #3 pick in a potential trade situation.
Although, as a side note, Detroit drafting Mike Williams was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a team do in the draft.
