"He’ll have to do so while playing for new 49er head coach Mike Nolan, who got the job despite being thoroughly worthless. Congratulations Aaron, and welcome to hell." :laughing2

"...departed Samari Rolle, who, since being accused of spousal abuse, was required by league mandate to sign with the Ravens." :laughing2 again.
He's bringing it this week.

i'm still a believer of drafting williams if he's there, otherwise look at rolle or try to trade down...

Re: New Walters article now up 3/30/05
 

I am a devout Williams believer. I might be brught to tears if we have a shot at him and pass. I might even cry if the Vikes take him. If he's gone I pass on Rolle if there are any trade downs available. Otherwise I'll hold my nose as we draft Antrel "Not Samari's Brother" Rolle and watch him and Taylor keep us close enough to lose 10 games again by 50 points total. We need offense.

I say go get the big boy, he will make an instant impact. I agree with the article, we don't need a corner. I mean, if we were looking at a game breaking, once every 10 years, 6 foot DB, then i say get him, but we are not. Harris can fill the void for 3 more years if healthy. Wilds is coming along as well.

we were 6-10 with a 3rd ranked kick ass D, so if our D is 1st overall next year that means we'll be like 8-8??

We need ball control, a play-action threat, and more 3rd down and 2's.

I gotta boo this article. He says we were 6-10 last year and thus need to fill holes, not provide apprenticeships to starters we already have in place. Sorry, I've said it in so many threads but I'm going to say it again...
RECEIVERS TYPICALLY TAKE THREE YEARS TO DEVELOP INTO IMPACT PLAYERS.

Drafting Mike Williams is likely to be a bigger apprenticeship than drafting a corner. First off, Springs is not a durable guy despite his health last year. He has had a career marred with injury after injury. Plus both guys are old. You have to acknowledge that a rookie corner like Rolle or Pac Man would play right away as a nickel, that is unless you really think the world of Garnell Wilds.

Though I suppose you could make the same risk of injury argument for Santana Moss. So I'd actually be OK with drafting Mike Williams at 9. I think a corner makes more sense, but I just mean to say that if we draft WR at 9 or CB at 9, either way I think the player will be an understudy in the rookie season, and even longer in the case of a WR.

And you can never have too many corners, especially with TO in our division.

Re: New Walters article now up 3/30/05
 

I don't see Mike Williams dropping to us on the 9th pick. The Vikes will for sure take Williams if he is there to fill Randy Moss's shoes. I say if he is there you take him.. We need playmakers and winners and he is that..
If we don't get him we should try to trade down and get a 2nd round pick and draft a CB in the 1st round. From what I have been reading the CB's in this years draft are allrite so dropping a few places down should not hurt us in drafting a top flight cornerback!!

Re: New Walters article now up 3/30/05
 

I hope your right. I would LOVE to see Williams in a SKINS uni!!!

Re: New Walters article now up 3/30/05
 

I would like to go in a different direction and draft Jessica Alba.

Then, I would cut everyone else on the team except for her and move mini-camp to an island in the Carribbean.

Thank God I'm not GM of the Redskins...

I'm with you That Guy. I want either Williams or Rolle.

Re: New Walters article now up 3/30/05
 

i have to say that aside from edwards and williamson i' m not blown away to the point with the reciveing choises like some are. none of the guys are in the same class as last years class. roy w and company are awesome. just because they are the best in the draft doesn't mean they are all that. i say trade down and get a quality reciever later. there is quality to be had in later rounds. i mean if r brown from aubun or benson from texas or lb johnson from texas are still there i would be more liable to take them than some of these guys. let's remember it's been said over and over by scouts and others this draft has quality but no clear gamebreaker like in the last couple of years. would take johnson or vilma or d j williams? have a great day guys
