You'd have to assume that they figured Johnson was the guy who would catch 100 balls when they drafted him and Boldin was an opportunity pick. So, to me, that raises doubts about his ability that the Cardinals immediately rejected him for a guy they didn't think was as talented. Obviously Fitzgerald was picked more for his perception as a rare talent and relationship with Green, but it is something to keep in mind when looking at him.

I don't know about him being rejected and I don't really know much
about the team history, but you can't complain too much if a 2nd
rounder overtakes a 1st rounder. They're still high picks so the team
rated them both high.

At the end of the day grabbing Johnson has to be done without breaking
the bank. I'm just disappointed the Bears aren't even in the
conversation.
