At least you will get an explosive, athletic player. Mike Williams reminds me to much of a couple other wide recievers that the Redskins drafted - Rod Gardner, 15th pick in 1st round and Michael Westbrook, 4th pick in 1st round. Both tall and not explosive. IF you can get a trade partner, trade down and get Jones later. But I think that is a BIG IF in this draft. BigSKINBauer 03-31-2005, 08:21 AM espn insider says he has character issues, big ones,... he doesn't want to learn they say, " Has a very nonchalant attitude. Not sure if he loves playing the game of football. ", joe gibbs guy? " Doesn't seem overly willing[to learn], which is a big concern." BigSKINBauer 03-31-2005, 08:23 AM i just don't see us getting him w/ the ninth. its a waste trade down and pic up a second. take a nap for a while he isn't going anywhere until 25+ pic AT BEST, use a second rounder if we trade down and pic up a d-line man for the hell of it but don't pic this guy at 9 and that just isn't gonna happen MTK 03-31-2005, 08:27 AM Everyone is drooling over this guy's physical attributes, but I'm a little concerned about a guy coming in to the league having to learn a new position. There's been many physical freaks to come through the league that have never amounted to anything. TheMalcolmConnection 03-31-2005, 08:41 AM Brock Lesnar ring a bell anyone. He is the definition of a freak and you'd think that SOME coach could mold him into something usable, but it just wasn't happening. Now I'm sure that Jones would be a bit easier to teach than Lesnar, but it's just tough. gortiz 03-31-2005, 09:24 AM TWO WORDS!! ANTONIO GATES!! Didn't play college football, and the last time he played any football was in Highschool! C'mon man! Atheletic ability is rare comodity. Jones is worth a 9th round pick. Who wants another Desmond Howard, Mike Westbroken, Heath Schuler!!! TheMalcolmConnection 03-31-2005, 09:32 AM I would say a 9th round pick, but that's about it. gortiz 03-31-2005, 10:24 AM I would say a 9th round pick, but that's about it. ha ha ha ha ha, lets just hope no one else sees that! (9th round!) TheMalcolmConnection 03-31-2005, 10:28 AM Sorry I forgot my ;). sportscurmudgeon 03-31-2005, 11:12 AM saden1: Rayfield Wright of the Cowboys started out as a TE and wound up as an All-Pro OT for years. He may even be in the HoF... Lenny Moore was a RB in college and a RB when he first came to the NFL but wound up in the HoF as a WR. Charley Taylor was a RB who did OK as a WR - or am I remembering wrong? Paul Hornung was a QB at Notre Dame but is in the HoF as an NFL RB. Calvin Hill was a fullback in college (Yale no less) and an All-Pro TE in the NFL. offiss: I was kidding about taking him as a CB. After all the glowing remarks about his physical prowess, it seemed to me that you could project him there too. But I wan't kidding about waiting a LONG time to draft him if you think he's your QB of the future - - because I don't think he'll ever be a big time NFL QB.
