I'd be surprised if Edwards did the combine beyond the interviews. I thinks Williams will though. He and Clarett have the most to gain. After careful consideration I have softened my stance on taking a WR in the 1st. I had been adamently against it but after doing a little more homework on Williams I think he is going to be a stud WR. Every year there is a guy who slips for whatever reason and ends up being a great pick...last year it was Rothleisberger. Moss was once in this class. Williams was a guy that was talked about as a top 5 pick last year albeit early in the draft season. He was a monster play maker at USC who basically dominated everyone he played. He wasn't just great he was on another level. He should be a higher pick than 9 but since he has been out it lowers him in people's eyes. If he's available at 9 we should take him and if we can get him a couple picks later I'd like to trade down and get another pick too. I think he'd be the steal of the draft at 9 or later. Hopefully he won't move up after the combines.
