This makes me happy too, especially since Williams seems to really like him. Seems like he should be a smart special teamer at first, and those are good to have since we should be kicking off every 5minutes or so after our offense repeatedly torches the opposing D.[/quote]

I'm a fan. hopefully he can play.

I do think that one day he will be our no. 1 DT. But with a team as good as the 06 Skins, the only thing that matters in the short term is the impact he can make on this team this year. Can he help us win now?

Apparently, 31 teams do not think so, or he would have been gone before the 5th round.

The collective has been wrong before.

This is actually kind of awesome. We have signed 5 of our draft picks and ONLY 20 have signed in the entire league.

[QUOTE]6. Signing the draft choices
Fewer than 20 draft choices have signed and the only first-day pick under contract is Mario Williams of the Texans. With minimum salaries for rookies going up $40,000, the slots for signing the draft choices are tight in the rookie pool. That's why some lower draft choices are signing for only 1 or 2 percent increases. It's going to be tight to get the first-rounders done in time. Bush isn't making things easy, either. He wants No. 1 money, even though he was the No. 2 pick. The Saints are willing to be creative, but they aren't paying him No. 1 money. A holdout could be looming.[/QUOTE]

So only Rocky Mac has yet to sign?
