Too early to say Meachem after one year in the league while injuried. Has not taken a snap yet. Also I have heard he is a great student of the game getting help last year from top WRs of the opposing teams before the games each week last year. Steve Smith said some great things about him because of that. I think the Saints did the right thing not rushing him out onto the field last year playing catchup and getting a full year to work on his skills and the playbook.

I think it is too early to say Ginn as well. I think a bust has to be in the league for at least a few years unless he has a career ending injury, etc.. right off the bat.
